Decades later, in London, Ada Kazantzakis, their daughter, seeks to unravel the secrets of her family and her identity, connecting with her roots through a Ficus carica in her home's garden. This novel by Elif Shafak is a magical story about belonging, identity, love, pain, and the capacity for renewal through memory.
