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.

評分同事極力推薦我看,說超級感人,還把整個故事繪聲繪色地復述瞭一遍。 然後我讀瞭,讀後的感覺是,好像看一部電影,所有的精彩都已經在預告片裏齣現過,並且預告片比正片更吸引人。 也不乏我喜歡的元素:充滿海洋氣息的地中海風情、蔚藍色的異域情調,橡果麵包、百裏香燉蝸牛…...
評分看推薦抱瞭很大的期望來讀這本書,可終究未感受到一絲感動。固然我很快看完瞭這本書(通常我讀不下去的書能在一半的狀態下放很久),可仍是失望而已。 也許真的是文化差異,我也不是基督徒,"麻風病"這三個字於我而言,什麼恐懼,難過都不會有,我也根本未能體會。 然而故事中...

沒有某網站宣傳的那麼好,看完沒任何感覺。
評分雖然費瞭很久終於看完瞭英文版,但估計睡一覺就會忘光吧……
評分其實我覺得有些略平淡,並未震撼到我。中譯版也一般般。
評分以前有人給我推薦的時候說是講述愛情如何如何。看過之後發現愛情雖然燦爛,但是親情的厚重更讓人感動。喜歡那個沉默寡言,理智的尼可拉斯醫生
