Description
Victoria Hislop returns to the world of Crete in this long-awaited sequel to her bestselling novel, The Island. On 25th August 1957, the island of Spinalonga closes its leper colony, and a moment of violence has devastating consequences. For the people of Plaka, the closure of Spinalonga is forever coloured with tragedy, and the question of how to resume life looms large. As stigma and scandal need to be confronted, the survivors must find a way to build a future from the ruins of the past. The aftermath of this momentous event sets in motion a chain of events that will change the lives of those affected forever. This dramatic and absorbing novel abounds with the rich atmosphere of a Greek island, and the characters that inhabit it. With its immersive storytelling, One August Night is a compelling tale of love, betrayal, and allegiances that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
