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.
看这本书完全受宣传影响--“感动了整个欧洲的小说”结果没有感动我半点,反而觉得作者的处女作读起来很生硬,用词不亲切。很想渲染气氛却又找不到切入点,有点故弄玄虚的感觉。再有故事太老套了,其实想想聚集着一群麻风病的一个小岛,不能只单纯的谈岛上的生活,所以作者拓展,结果德军什么的都来了
评分叙事好慢哦,不过后半本挺好看的
评分叙事好慢哦,不过后半本挺好看的
评分我不能理解语言是否优美,但仍然能察觉作者的力不从心。这个相当不错的题材在大师手里可以写成《霍乱时期》或者《百年孤独》,而在新人手里只能写成尚可的畅销小说——情节不能说不曲折狗血,平淡的语言和脸谱化的人物大大缩减魅力值。
评分看扉页上,上面说这小说号称感动了整个欧洲。看完之后,觉得这话有些浮夸了,但是的确算是本好书,一个家族的故事,一个被麻风病笼罩的岛屿,人间的冷漠与真情。有时候不说,只是害怕大家知晓秘密后无情的冷漠,没有足够强大的心来抵御这人间的歧视冷眼
《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...
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...
评分看推荐抱了很大的期望来读这本书,可终究未感受到一丝感动。固然我很快看完了这本书(通常我读不下去的书能在一半的状态下放很久),可仍是失望而已。 也许真的是文化差异,我也不是基督徒,"麻风病"这三个字于我而言,什么恐惧,难过都不会有,我也根本未能体会。 然而故事中...
