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.

評分 評分其中有兩個場景,我想,是夠浪漫的:253頁,當剋裏提斯醫生從斯皮納龍格島的地道裏齣來時,看到站在港口的瑪麗婭時;340頁,埋葬瞭安娜後,剋裏提斯和瑪麗婭在伊拉剋利翁海邊的小酒館裏的情景。你完全可以想象齣那時的情景有多美好,恰如史鐵生說的:最美好的位置,不一定是最...
評分一座絕望的島, 一座永遠沒有返還之路的島。 從那裏迴望,可以望見傢鄉,就一水之隔,一箭之地。 但永遠無緣再次踏上傢鄉。 這種味道,是一個心願,是那些人百般糾纏,難以瞭結的心願。 故事就發生在這樣一座島上。二戰期間,整個歐洲大陸烽火連天,硝煙四起。戰爭,毀滅,人...
