Sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis, living in modern-day London, has many unanswered questions about her family and past. One day, her history homework drags her into a world she never knew.
To the 1970s... to Nicosia, the only capital city in the world divided by wire fences. There is a tavern on the island where Defne and Kostas meet secretly: Mutlu Incir. This is a magical place with the best food and best music on the island.
It makes all its guests forget their sorrows outside, even if only for a few hours. And right in the middle of the tavern is a wise fig tree, which makes this place even more magical. When the war broke out and the beautiful capital turned into rubble and the lovers disappeared one by one, a fig tree was always there... The Island of Lost Trees, which reached over a million readers all over the world, is a healing migration elegy telling about hope, mourning, war and love.
