Shafak's mystical novel of nature consciousness and broad romance centers around a single struggling fig cutting in a London apartment . . . or around what we understand of it.

(Hör)Buchtipp: "Das Flüstern der Feigenbäume" von Elif Shafak.

Ich habe lange nicht mehr so ein schönes Buch gelesen/gehört. Eine Geschichte zwischen dem postkolonialen Zypern und London über transgenarationale Trauma und Zugehörigkeit.

Das Buch "Das Flüstern der Feigenbäume" (im Original heisst es "The Island of Missing Trees") ist 2021 erschienen und auch als Audiobuch zu hören.
