Here is a novel that will delight undoubtedly all lovers of family saga. While in the genre, there are most successful works as The Years with Laura Diaz or the sun Scortas, this after a little mawkish start devours trafficked through a fluid style and accuracy tone rarely caught out, aided by a flawless translation priori. This Greek drama written in 2005 by an English and translated into French only today, takes us through from 1939 to 2001, World War II and the administrative closure of the lepers on the island of Spinalonga in the sight of villagers Cretan strong character (especially for men) but also often docile (especially for women). Despite a sometimes Manichean vision of existence, one caught in the game and is not based on a book when completed. Pleasant distraction reading.
