The Missing Rose

Mentioned in the same breath as The Little Prince, Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Alchemist,

Serdar Özkan’s enchanting debut novel The Missing Rose has the power to change your life. Translated into 44 languages, it has already captured the hearts of readers around the world.

This is the story of Diana Oliveira, a beautiful yet troubled young woman whose desire for approval has made her lose sight of who she really is. When her mother’s deathbed confession reveals the existence of a sister, Diana sets out to find the twin she never knew she had. Her travels lead to a mysterious garden, where she is given lessons that change her forever.

The Missing Rose is a poetic yet insightful modern parable about love, acceptance and the importance of remaining true to your dreams.
