In 2005 novelist Victoria Hislop published a book called 'The Island'. The book was inspired by the dramatic stories of a family that had strong ties with the Spinalonga island during the operation of the leper hospital. A well written book that gives insights on the life within the leper colony but also the perception of healthy people at the time. The book tells stories of love, separation, pain and happiness in a vivid and touching way that will absorb any reader. I can't think a better book to read at the beach for someone having its vacations on Crete. The book was translated in several languages and sold more than a million copies
