Status Updates From The Island of Missing Trees

Trees can talk and I am so here for it

fun so far

A deeply moving and beautiful book.

„okrucieństwo życia opierało się nie tylko na krzywdach, traumach i potwornościach, ale także na przypadkowości tego wszystkiego”

Ciekawe

Just started this and it already is SO BEAUTIFUL woah

This is a very easy read with really insightful messages so far

I love this writing, I love this fig tree, I am freaking loving this book.

Brb gonna cry on the train

why is every character in this so weird

“Like a cat that curls up on its favourite cushion, a tree wraps itself around the remnants of the past.”

you mean to tell me a FIG TREE is in love with a HUMAN??!

This daughter has the most irritating chav accent I've ever heard. Truly insufferable.

I have learned good and well that my commute is not good for audiobooks. Not the start of them, at least. I can't get exposition in 10-minute bursts. Especially this one.

Wow-

this is my book club book at work so i’m pushing through but im bored !

doing the sealey challenge but desperately missed reading novels 😭

Never knew trees had feelings and emotions

Naprawdę dawno opisy w książce nie oddziaływały na moje zmysły w takim stopniu.
Przede wszystkim przez zapachy oraz smaki dosłownie czuję klimat Cypru. I jeszcze ten pomysł z pov z perspektywy drzewa…

Chyba oficjalnie wkraczam w moją ✨Elif Shafak era✨

Olalala, quelle plume ! Five stars feeling ?

33 pages and she’s got me

مش مستعد للنهاية.

Didn’t finish, started for bookclub, not going to finish

Voy a llorar por un árbol que está narrando la historia? Posiblemente

Leaning towards 3* for this by now. I am starting to dislike the disjointed, lurching narration going back and forth between time periods. There are also so. many. metaphors!

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and paints a stark picture of grief and conflict - but just not quite gripping me the same at this point.

Ich weiss nicht, wie sehr mir die Baum-POVs gefallen

Corrijo se conocían hace rato, bo cache donde transplanto al ficus, son duras las referencias del libro a cosas de humanos, como cuando se refiere a que “si hubiese sido humana, habría sido el sonido de mis huesos romperse”

Ficus habla de lo mucho que le ha hablado jostas hoy, cuando le ha dicho dos oraciones, y ya esta enamorado? Ademas de primero mencionar que no siente. Soledad como los humanos, pero a las 5 segundos esta enamorada igual que un ser humano, lo acaba de plantar…
