The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An excellent Romeo and Juliet-like story of two kids who fall in love from two sides of Cyprus. Turkish and Greek. As someone who grew up in Turkey and heard all about the separation in Cyprus I found it really interesting to read about a story that takes place there and talks about the atrocities of war. Loved the mystical parts with nature, as well. Wonderful story.
