SELECCION DEL CLUB DE LECTURA DE REESE

En un convulso 1974, mientras el ejército turco ocupa el norte de Chipre, Kostas, un griego cristiano, y Defne, una turca musulmana, se reúnen en secreto bajo las vigas ennegrecidas de la taberna La Higuera Feliz, donde cuelgan ristras de ajos, cebollas y pimientos. Allí, lejos del fragor de la guerra, crece a través de una cavidad en el techo una higuera, testigo del amor de los dos jóvenes, pero también de sus desencuentros, de la destrucción de Nicosia y de la trágica separación de los amantes. Décadas más tarde, en el norte de Londres, Ada Kazantzakis acaba de perder a su madre. A sus dieciséis años, nunca ha visitado la isla en la que nacieron sus padres y está desesperada por desenredar años de secretos, división y silencio. La única conexión que tiene con la tierra de sus antepasados es un Ficus carica que crece en el jardín de su casa.

La isla del árbol perdido es una historia llena de magia sobre la pertenencia y la identidad, el amor y el dolor, y la asombrosa capacidad de regeneración a través de la memoria.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2022

"A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times." -David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue

A rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World.

Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he's searching for lost love.

Years later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited--- her only connection to her family's troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world.

A moving, beautifully written, and delicately constructed story of love, division, transcendence, history, and eco-consciousness, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak's best work yet.

Not the most durable, but it is a quality toy
I bought this as a gift for my friend's mini dachund and I knew she would love it because of the long legs and how soft it is. She loved it alright. So much that she ripped the ear off in the first 10 minutes of having it. It's not durable, given a year old mini weenie can rip it, but it is a good toy for the dogs that don't choose death for every toy they have.

very cute - not for most dogs
Very cute but not made for dogs who carry their toys. I purchase toys such as this every few months because my dog loves to snuggle and play with them. She has many of them and delights in carrying her new ones with her. This is the first stuffed toy that's only lasted a few days. She does not tear into her toys nor is she hard on them. Most of her toys are still intact. The one's that are worn are at least two years old so this was surprising. This toy would be great for a dog that lays still with it, won't carry it and just cuddles. It wouldn't last two seconds with a dog that is hard on their toys.
