The Petrakis family lives in the small Greek seaside village of Plaka. Just off the coast is the tiny island of Spinalonga, where the nation's leper colony once was located—a place that has haunted four generations of Petrakis women. There's Eleni, ripped from her husband and two young daughters and sent to Spinalonga in 1939, and her daughters Maria, finding joy in the everyday as she dutifully cares for her father, and Anna, a wild child hungry for passion and a life anywhere but Plaka. And finally there's Alexis, Eleni's great-granddaughter, visiting modern-day Greece to unlock her family's past.
A richly enchanting novel of lives and loves unfolding against the backdrop of the Mediterranean during World War II, The Island is an enthralling story of dreams and desires, of secrets desperately hidden, and of leprosy's touch on an unforgettable family.
Victoria Hislop is the internationally bestselling author of The Island and The Return. She writes travel features for the Sunday Telegraph, the Mail on Sunday, House & Garden, and Woman & Home. She divides her time among rural Kent, London, and Crete. She is married and has two children.
在希腊小岛上买的,可惜没有去克里特岛,和一个读过这本书的希腊姑娘聊起,原来都是是真实的故事呢
评分就这么个故事竟然写了这么多这么多这么多这么多的废话!
评分Her first story. Cannot put the book down till the end.
评分家庭妇女小说,希腊版知音
评分两个家族的历史,克里特岛麻风病的历史。情节本来跟跌宕,但语言略平淡,可能是叙述太多描写太少吧。印象最深的竟然是Alexis听完家族史后对Ed的决断。
读英国作家维多利亚•希斯洛普的处女作《岛》的间隙,不时会想到桑塔格在《疾病的隐喻》中的论述:疾病是生命的阴暗面,是一重更为麻烦的公民身份。我们每个人生活在世上都有双重的公民身份,其一属于健康王国,而另一种则属于疾病王国。尽管我们都很乐于享用健康王国的护照...
评分想看岛是在亚马逊上看到了它的简介和名人的书评,可是看完之后,我一直在回想,它让人潸然泪下的情节在哪里?刚开始想可能从来没有了解过麻风病的人很少能体会到那种独特的情感,但是后来想想,书本来就是传递一些大部分人不知道的东西给读者,而岛涉及到感人的情节的描写很平...
评分因为封皮写的太好,小说被赋予了太多期待,反而没有实至名归的感动。没有爱恨纠葛,恨少,爱也不多。似乎封皮对这本书的描写以吸引人眼球为目的不实地夸大了。主要讲的是一个四人家庭的故事,后半期主讲两个女儿的命运。不知是不是封皮与铺天盖地的不符合的介绍的缘故,没有触...
评分这本书,本身像一座囚笼,令你在一片孤立的思想岛上禁闭,直到最后乘风而去,得到解放。 斯皮纳龙格这座岛屿,它是一种反向的乌托邦式场景,人们因为痛苦而集结,又因为这份痛苦被紧密结合在一起。通过岛内岛外的故事联络,可以看到时而连通,时而断裂的情感链条。 最令人扼...
评分同事极力推荐我看,说超级感人,还把整个故事绘声绘色地复述了一遍。 然后我读了,读后的感觉是,好像看一部电影,所有的精彩都已经在预告片里出现过,并且预告片比正片更吸引人。 也不乏我喜欢的元素:充满海洋气息的地中海风情、蔚蓝色的异域情调,橡果面包、百里香炖蜗牛…...
