The Island by Victoria Hislop

5.0

One of the reviews on the front of this book said "a beach book with a heart" and I really agree with that. It was great, I found the whole story fascinating and learnt a lot about leprosy and how people used to be treated - and I guess probably still do. Although it was a very tough subject, it was written in a very light hearted, and easy to read way. I really got involved with the characters too. I would definately recommend.
