Island - V. Hislop
On the brink of a life-changing decision, Alexis Fielding longs to find out about her mother´s past. All she admits to is growing up in a small Cretan village before moving to London. But Sofia has never spoken of it.
Arriving in Plaka, Alexis is astonished to see that it lies a stone´s throw from the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga - Greece´s former leper colony. When Alexis decides to visit Crete, however, Sofia gives her daughter a letter to take to an old friend, and promises that through her she will learn more. Then she finds Fortini, and at last hears the story that Sofia has buried all her life: the tale of her great-grandmother Eleni and her daughters and a family rent by tragedy, war and passion.
She discovers how intimately she is connected with the island, and how secrecy holds them all in its powerful grip...
