Author: Victoria Hislop

Helpful Score: 5


Awesome book. Brings some light to the mysterious disease of leprosy. Made me want to do more research, and I was never interested in it previously. Also good to read about some Greek customs & the dawning of industrial revolution. Good family saga. Brief but not shortened. Mildly predictable, but only towards the end. Still, fun to read.
