The Island by Hislop, Victoria on 10/04/2006 Later printing edition

Very real and difficult times are portrayed through the lives of an imagined family and their communities. The setting, coastal Greece, is palpable, the characters nuanced and compelling. Life is full of reversals, and this story deals with major ones. The reader, like the characters, comes to realize that the only thing we never abandon is hope.

The more pages that you read, the better the book gets. I ended up loving it!

Loved this book! Very well written. The characters are believable and I feel like I learned something about this era.

I Bought this book to replace one I borrowed and damaged. This was advertised as good condition. this is not in good condition. It’s covered in stickers. And Is very well read. as books should be.

We went to Spinalonga on holiday so getting this book was great to fill in the back story. Loved it. My husband didn't like the Lovy dovy bits

I read The Island for my own personal use and it was fantastic - a bit sad but thats what I expected - beautifully written and has spurred me on to read all ofVictoria Hislops novels.

Excellent, prompt service, book well wrapped. The Island is a wonderful book, especially as I visited Crete this May and went to Spinalonga Island, the former leper colony.

Excellent book, especially as have been to spinalonga
