The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

4.0

I enjoyed the historical story and did not mind the tree narration or other magical elements. However, I wasn't that interested in the modern-day story/characters and think this just dragged the book out unnecessarily. I wish authors of historical fiction would just keep it in one timeline as I find this problem with many HF books. I rated this four stars due to the historical elements which were very interesting.
