The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

This book is why I love reading authors from outside my country and experience, and Elif Sharif is one of the best. Not only does her writing sing, I learn so much when I read her. (I started to take breaks to fact-check. She was 100%, so I stopped doubting.) In this work I discovered a Cyprus that is split by a demarcation line, that people bury fig trees in the winter, and much more.
