The Island

by Victoria Hislop

Another great read! This book is about Spinalonga, an island off of Crete where lepers were forced to live during the early 1900's (through 1950's).

It was filled with historical information about Crete, through WWII and also filled with very deep relationships. I really loved the main characters throughout and this book went quite fast.

I love learning and I learned a lot with this book (about Crete, leprosy, and other things). It was extremely touching and well done. I would happily recommend this book to anyone!
