In The Summer Of 1974, On The Divided Island Of Cyprus, Two Teenagers—Kostas, A Greek Christian, And Defne, A Turkish Muslim—Fall In Love. Their Secret Meetings Take Place In A Taverna Where A Fig Tree Grows Through The Roof, Silently Observing Their Joy And Sorrow. But When War Breaks Out, The Lovers Are Torn Apart, And The Fig Tree Becomes The Only Living Witness To Their Story. Decades Later, In London, Sixteen-Year-Old Ada Kazantzakis Struggles With Grief And A Sense Of Disconnection From Her Heritage. Her Only Link To Her Parents’ Homeland Is A Fig Tree Growing In The Garden. As Ada Begins To Unravel The Silences In Her Family’S Past, The Narrative Weaves Between Generations, Continents, And Even Perspectives—Including That Of The Fig Tree Itself. With Its Blend Of Magical Realism And Historical Fiction, The Island Of Missing Trees Is A Deeply Moving Exploration Of Love, Loss, And The Resilience Of Nature. It Was Shortlisted For The Women’S Prize For Fiction And Selected For Reese Witherspoon’S Book Club.
