"A wonderfully transporting and magical novel that is, at the same time, revelatory about recent history and the natural world and quietly profound." William Boyd. "This is an enchanting, compassionate and wise novel and storytelling at its most sublime." Polly Samson. "A brilliant novel - one that rings with Shafak's characteristic compassion for the overlooked and the under-loved, for those whom history has exiled, excluded or separated.
I know it will move many readers around the world, as it moved me." Robert Macfarlane "A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. The Island of Missing Trees is balm for our bruised times." David Mitchell.
