Books & Bites
Books & Bites is a book discussion program that seeks to delve deeper into a culture or time period of a work of fiction by sharing some of the food traditions associated with it.
“The Island of Missing Trees” by Elif Shafak is the story of sixteen-year-old Ada is mourning the recent loss of her mother and remains disturbed by her parents’ refusal to talk about their Cypriot heritage. Interspersed with Ada’s story is that of her parents’ courtship, set against the backdrop of the 1974 war in Cyprus. Narrated in part by a wise fig tree, prizewinning author Elif Shafak brings us a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, memory and amnesia, human-induced destruction of nature, and, finally, renewal.
We'll start our program with a full Turkish/Cypriot breakfast while we watch a short powerpoint detailing the conflict between the Greeks and Turks on the island of Cyprus. We'll then settle into a spirited conversation about the book while we enjoy some Turkish tea and sweets. Registration is required.
