Francesca Tyer 😍😍😍

This book is original, stunning and enlightening. A fig tree narrates and tells us of nature and the language of trees and ecosystems we take for granted. The characters living during and after the partition of Cyprus, tell their stories of love and of loss. It is now firmly one of my favourite books. Combining nature, with culture, forgotten histories and humanity but also a love story written so eloquently. ... See MoreSee Less
