54 reviewsA rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds In This Strange World.
"A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times." - David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue
Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he’s searching for lost love.
"... a strong and enthralling work; its world of superstition, natural beauty and harsh tribal loyalties becomes your world. Its dense mazes of memory make you set aside your own. It blurs the boundaries between history and natural history in profound and original ways... [Shafak] writes with great control about despair... The push and pull of teenage emotion is also captured with precision... a complex and powerful work in which the harrowing material settles on the reader delicately." - Susie Boyd, Financial Times (UK)
