Το νησί
Victoria Hislop, 2005
A family’s buried history draws a young woman from London to Crete, where the island’s past reshapes what she knows about home and inheritance.
Victoria Hislop’s debut novel, The Island, was inspired by Spinalonga, the former leper colony off Crete that closed in 1957.
Feels like curiosity, family and memory.
A sealed piece of family history, passed from one woman to another.
Το μόνο στοιχείο που διαθέτει για να ξετυλίξει το κουβάρι του παρελθόντος είναι ένα γράμμα που της δίνει η μητέρα της. Της υπόσχεται πως, αν το παραδώσει σε μια παλιά της φίλη, θα μάθει όλη την αλήθεια. Victoria Hislop, 2005
A family’s buried history draws a young woman from London to Crete, where the island’s past reshapes what she knows about home and inheritance.
