Victoria Hislop is the internationally bestselling author of The Island and The Return. She writes travel features for the Sunday Telegraph, the Mail on Sunday, House & Garden, and Woman & Home. She divides her time among rural Kent, London, and Crete. She is married and has two children.
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.
一座绝望的岛, 一座永远没有返还之路的岛。 从那里回望,可以望见家乡,就一水之隔,一箭之地。 但永远无缘再次踏上家乡。 这种味道,是一个心愿,是那些人百般纠缠,难以了结的心愿。 故事就发生在这样一座岛上。二战期间,整个欧洲大陆烽火连天,硝烟四起。战争,毁灭,人...
评分. 岛,本来是说麻风病人被隔离在一个小岛上的故事。这样的题材,用来写一个充满人性的故事按理说应该格外动人。可惜作者并不怎么高明,笔力实在是不够,讲故事既不十分擅长,语言也不十分精彩,于是乎成就了一篇好似七拼八凑的东西,各种缺胳膊少腿的人物胡乱摆了一地。 麻风...
评分两周前,在一部文字晦涩的大部头中艰难挣扎期间,无意中浏览了一小段维多利亚.希斯洛普的处女作《岛》中的文字,清新、简单,就如闷热的房间吹进的一股凉爽的空气,让我不舍放下。作为放松,花了一点时间看完这本小说,算不上一部十全十美的作品,但值得一写的东西还是不少的。...
评分其中有两个场景,我想,是够浪漫的:253页,当克里提斯医生从斯皮纳龙格岛的地道里出来时,看到站在港口的玛丽娅时;340页,埋葬了安娜后,克里提斯和玛丽娅在伊拉克利翁海边的小酒馆里的情景。你完全可以想象出那时的情景有多美好,恰如史铁生说的:最美好的位置,不一定是最...
评分我不能理解语言是否优美,但仍然能察觉作者的力不从心。这个相当不错的题材在大师手里可以写成《霍乱时期》或者《百年孤独》,而在新人手里只能写成尚可的畅销小说——情节不能说不曲折狗血,平淡的语言和脸谱化的人物大大缩减魅力值。
评分Her first story. Cannot put the book down till the end.
评分家庭妇女小说,希腊版知音
评分後半段有點無力的感覺
评分以前有人给我推荐的时候说是讲述爱情如何如何。看过之后发现爱情虽然灿烂,但是亲情的厚重更让人感动。喜欢那个沉默寡言,理智的尼可拉斯医生
