The Island - Victoria Hislop |
|
 |
| On the Brink of a life-changing decision, Alexis Fielding longs to find out about her mothers past. But Sofia has never spoken of it. All she admits to is growing up in a small Cretan village before moving to London. 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. |
Arriving in Plaka, Alexis is astonished to see that it loes a stone's throw from the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga - Greece's former Leper Colony. Then she finds Fotini, 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… |
