  • Compelling read

    Although at first glance I thought the subject of the book was going to be depressing on the contrary the author captures the feeling of the country and also captures your interest in the characters from the start. I thoroughly recommend this book who wants a compelling read

  • Great read if you're going on your hols!

    Just taken with me to Croatia for a short break. A great book, of which, I found compulsion to regularly reconvene - an attraction that many books lack. It has a certain Mama Mia likeness to it's content, whilst intertwining tales of historic sadness and misconception on factual times. The book was as advertised - in a very good condition.

  • Historically vivid and heartbreaking

    Wife read this before our holiday to Crete. We then had to visit Spinalonga. Really brought the place alive and brought an interesting background to the place we visited.

  • Can't put this book down - excellent.

    Was recommended this book. Started to read it and was unsure whether it was for me. However, now that I have read about half of the book I cannot put it down. It is an excellent story and on a subject that nowadays we do not give much thought too. Perhaps we should! Congratulations to Victoria Hislop for writing such an interesting book.

  • THE ISLAND - A MUST READ

    I read this book a number of years ago. Must have passed it onto a friend. Wanted it again to re-read as the book is fabulous. Glad you had it.

  • Moving story of Greek leprosy island

    Another great book by Victoria Hislop. Want to read all her books now. Amazing the aspects of European history we did not know about. People with leprosy sent to Spinolonga island , Crete, to die before a cure was found. Very moving and relevant at the moment with the Covid crisis. Recommended.

  • Excellent in every way.

    I have visited Spinalonga twice now. The "Island" brings it to life. It's really easy reading. Can't put it down. Didn't know much about leprosy. Such a terrible disease.
