I really loved this book. The writing is gorgeous and the story itself is completely compelling. I throughly enjoyed the amount of nature featured in this and the narration from the fig tree were some of my favourite parts. Not too mention the amount of loveable characters and the love they have between their own relationships and their relationships with each other. This taught me so much about Cyprus, Greek and Turkish Cypriots and the conflict and history as well as the culture. Highly recommend
