具體描述
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.

評分这本书，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...
評分书商宣称的——“令整个欧洲潸然泪下的故事”，未让我落泪，我不是铁石心肠，只是本书绝不至于像宣传那样的叫全人类都得发怮。 在某几节的时候，已经准备好了眼泪，但总在下一秒消失无影了，一切都太轻了，轻的比不上曾经很多被泪水打湿过的故事。等到阖上书页，我把那些泪...
評分《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...
用戶評價
Her first story. Cannot put the book down till the end.
评分原文往往比譯作少瞭一層紗，看的更真切（近些年引進的譯作都翻得不怎麼樣，有些竟連常識都不懂就敢上馬），且讀起來不拗口，按我的標準來說挺好的。
评分Her first story. Cannot put the book down till the end.
评分其實我覺得有些略平淡，並未震撼到我。中譯版也一般般。
评分沒有某網站宣傳的那麼好，看完沒任何感覺。
