Victoria Hislop is the internationally bestselling author of The Island and The Return. She writes travel features for the Sunday Telegraph, the Mail on Sunday, House & Garden, and Woman & Home. She divides her time among rural Kent, London, and Crete. She is married and has two children.
The Petrakis family lives in the small Greek seaside village of Plaka. Just off the coast is the tiny island of Spinalonga, where the nation's leper colony once was located—a place that has haunted four generations of Petrakis women. There's Eleni, ripped from her husband and two young daughters and sent to Spinalonga in 1939, and her daughters Maria, finding joy in the everyday as she dutifully cares for her father, and Anna, a wild child hungry for passion and a life anywhere but Plaka. And finally there's Alexis, Eleni's great-granddaughter, visiting modern-day Greece to unlock her family's past.
A richly enchanting novel of lives and loves unfolding against the backdrop of the Mediterranean during World War II, The Island is an enthralling story of dreams and desires, of secrets desperately hidden, and of leprosy's touch on an unforgettable family.
书商宣称的——“令整个欧洲潸然泪下的故事”,未让我落泪,我不是铁石心肠,只是本书绝不至于像宣传那样的叫全人类都得发怮。 在某几节的时候,已经准备好了眼泪,但总在下一秒消失无影了,一切都太轻了,轻的比不上曾经很多被泪水打湿过的故事。等到阖上书页,我把那些泪...
评分其中有两个场景,我想,是够浪漫的:253页,当克里提斯医生从斯皮纳龙格岛的地道里出来时,看到站在港口的玛丽娅时;340页,埋葬了安娜后,克里提斯和玛丽娅在伊拉克利翁海边的小酒馆里的情景。你完全可以想象出那时的情景有多美好,恰如史铁生说的:最美好的位置,不一定是最...

评分想去斯皮纳龙格,不仅仅是想去参拜一下这个故事发生的地方,想从历史的残留中亲眼看看那些可爱可敬的人曾经的热情的积极向上的生活。 同时还想象着希腊海岛的蓝天大海以及热情的海风,茂盛的洋溢着生活激情的植物,以及美丽的黑发女子。 不知道是什么原因,让岛上的被遗弃的人...
两个家族的历史,克里特岛麻风病的历史。情节本来跟跌宕,但语言略平淡,可能是叙述太多描写太少吧。印象最深的竟然是Alexis听完家族史后对Ed的决断。
评分女权主义也太明显了
评分虽然费了很久终于看完了英文版,但估计睡一觉就会忘光吧……
评分叙事好慢哦,不过后半本挺好看的
评分家庭妇女小说,希腊版知音
