Elif Shafak and Kirsty Lang

The Island of Missing Trees

 
Hay Festival 2022, 

The Turkish-British novelist’s latest work is a rich and magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, memory and amnesia, human-induced destruction of nature and, ultimately, renewal. She explains the main themes of the novel and her creative process in conversation with writer, broadcaster and contributor to BBC, Channel 4 and The Sunday Times Kirsty Lang.
