Roman in rose water, very disappointing despite good historical basis

Both the "bottom" is interesting because the history of Greece since the 1900s, its inter-ethnic strife, his adventures related to the two world wars, movements of populations are often ignored, as the "form" is particularly disappointing! The novel is the story around dun very academic style, and really gave me the impression to dive into a novel water rose collection Harlequin short, this is naive, corny, cheesy, full of clichés.
Too bad, the first novel "forgotten island" was featuring superior invoice. Victoria Hislop could she uses some "niggers" to produce and yet still (at the end of the book, the publisher is already giving an excerpt from his third novel, "One Last Dance"!) Because real writers are not Stakhanovists the pen to produce continuous flow, we know the unfortunately widespread practice of taking hands seconds. Nothing is gained to take readers for fools, it works once, but not both! at least in my case, because I definitely scratch the author of my future purchases.
