The Island of Missing Trees

rebeccaYeti shared a tip "Must love nature and the relationship to life. I typically love trees but felt this book droned on a bit. It was still sweet in some ways and had some good lessons along the ways."

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "Tender and imaginative, this novel offers a fascinating and endearing homage to nature, love, humanity, and connections. Told in part by the whimsical and wise voice of an uprooted fig tree, we see all of the conflicts and contradictions that make up the human experience. We also see a side of nature that we rarely consider- how do our actions, both good and bad, impact the living beings that cannot speak to us directly, and how often do we take our relationship with nature for granted?"
