This is my favorite book so far this year. It tells the story of Spinalonga, the leper island just off Crete and of the Cretan people who went there to die, tho many were cured in about 1953 and returned to their lives on the mainland. the story follows generations of the same families and is very well written and the characters well developed. Tho it is of course sad, it is also filled with hope. A wonderful read!
