The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

2.0

Everything about this book is just OK. I will admit I became curious about Cyprian history while reading this and plan to look up the events described. However, the writing style seems a little too oversimplified for a complex topic ranging from love to civil war and as a result I kept wondering if it was a YA novel. Having the fig tree as a narrator annoyed me, and the conclusion of the fig tree's story REALLY annoyed me. Meh.
