Victoria Hislop

Some 15 years after The Island became a bestseller, this sequel revisits Plaka in Crete, where in 1957, across the bay, the leper colony of Spinalonga closes following the discovery of a cure.

For Anna, the return of her sister fills her with dread, as she is sleeping with her former fiancé who – to complicate matters – is also her own husband’s cousin. Passion and jealousy explode into violence with life-changing consequences.

With its absorbing story inspired by the real leper colony, this love letter to Greece will sweep you away to another time and place.

In the depths of depression, James sends a text to all his contacts announcing his intention to take his own life, and then disables his phone.

As friends and virtual strangers scramble to try to save him, this tender and thoughtful story from the comedian-turned-author paints a moving portrait of modern dislocation.
