The cover of The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

Book 10 #ElifSafak #theislandofmissingtrees A forbidden romance between Turkish Cypriot Defne & Greek Cypriot Kostas during the civil war in Cyprus leads to a tale of displacement & trauma. Partly narrated by a fig tree, this is a story of discovering one's roots. Beautiful & heartbrThecovereaking.

When I read books by #ElifSafak I am not in a rush. I want to savour every word and moment.

Today marks 10 years since the devastating #CharlieHebdo attacks. To commemorate the anniversary, we republish a piece by #ElifSafak reflecting on our increasingly divisive world. 10 years on, her words seem more poignant than ever:

Bu durumda #ElifSafak Legion d'Honneur'ü reddetmeyi düşünür mü acaba? @
