Bedside Reading
The Island of Missing Trees
This novel by Elif Shafak is undoubtedly my top read of 2022 and so it was a delight to be approached by Sabina Dosani to discuss it. We talk about intergenerational trauma, adolescent norms, loss, escapism and much more.
There's a theme of roots, of secrets, things buried and things left unsaid. It's a sensational novel and one I am so glad to have read.
