Description
A dramatic tale of four generations, rent by war, illicit love, violence and leprosy, spans the decades from the thirties to the present day.
When Alexis Fielding longs to uncover the truth about her mother's past, she discovers a letter and a promise that sets her on a journey to the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga, Greece's former leper colony. There, she finds the story of her great-grandmother Eleni and her daughters, a tale of tragedy, war and passion that holds them all in its powerful grip.
As Alexis delves deeper into the island's secrets, she uncovers a family history that is both heartbreaking and hauntingly beautiful.
