具体描述
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.

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 评分《岛》是一本神奇的书。 “理查德和朱迪读书俱乐部”是英国一档著名的电视读书节目，办得红火异常，绝对是大众阅读的风向标。经其一指，名不见经传的的英国女作家维多利亚•希斯洛普仅凭其处女作《岛》大红大紫，闻名全欧。《岛》一出马即刻登上英国卫报畅销榜榜首，把《追风...
