Elif Shafak: The Island of Missing Trees

Join best-selling author Elif Shafak as she discusses her latest novel, The Island of Missing Trees.

In this rich, moving story, star-crossed lovers, Greek Christian Kostas and Turkish Muslim Defne, navigate the violence of the partition of Cyprus to eventually find safety in London. This stunningly original follow up to Shafak’s last novel, the Booker Prize-shortlisted 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, is a beautifully crafted story of love, loss and belonging, infused with the humanity and heart that is the hallmark of her acclaimed writings.

As part of Adelaide Writers Week, Shafak will be live-streamed from the UK to join on-stage host Michael Williams for a discussion of The Island of Missing Trees. You can now book to watch a recording of this event online.
