Editorial Review: Adding depth and colour to the story is the description of Cretan life... in particular, the vividly detailed account of life on Spinalonga... It is one of the achievements of this thoughtful novel that it presents the lives of the island's inhabitants with such empathy. The result is a fascinating work that combines a moving love story witha plea for more understanding about this most cruel of diseases' (The Times) 'At last - a beach book with a heart... Meticulous research into Cretan culture...packed with family sagas, doomed love affairs, devastating secrets... She also forces us to reflect on illness, both the nasty, narrow-mindedness of the healthy and the spirit of survival in the so-called "unclean". Her message seems as relevant today as it would have been a century ago' Observer (Observer) 'This is a vivid, moving and absorbing tale, with its sensitive, realistic engagement with all the consequences of, and stigma attached to leprosy, elevating it beyond holiday literature' (Observer) 'War, tragedy and passion unfurl against a Mediterranean backdrop in this engrossing debut novel' You magazine (You magazine) 'Passionately engaged with its subject...the author has meticulously researched her fascinating background and medical facts' The Sunday Times (The Sunday Times) 'Gently gripping tale' (Scotsman on Sunday) 'Brings dignity and tenderness to her novel' (Telegraph)
