    Why did you choose this book? It was the intriguing blurb which caught my eye, a boy searching for his mother, longing to find the truth about why she went missing.

  • Diana’s Autumn Book Review (7) ‘The Island of Missing Trees’ by Elif Shafak

    Why did you choose this book? I was browsing in Waterstones and was drawn firstly by the title, which was intriguing and also mentioned an island; pertinent following my recent series of Islands of Inspiration. Secondly I loved the cover and finally, when I turned the novel over, I read David Mitchel’s review: “A wise…
