The sequel to the Island. Good read, I read it in 2 days. But there is a certain distance to the way the story is told that held me back from getting very emotionally involved with the story. I don't remember that from The Island.
It is a story of passion, jealousy, great sadness and eventual peace, and even happiness, for many of the characters.
