Elif Shafak's 'The Island of Missing Trees' is a rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal. Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. A fig tree witnesses their hushed meetings and their disappearance. Decades later, Kostas returns to the island in search of his lost love. Years later, a Ficus carica grows in London, connecting Ada Kazantzakis to her family's history and her identity.
