It tells the story of Maria Patrakis, who suffered with leprosy and had been sent to Spinalonga to live and how due to a cure being found she and all the others were allowed back to the mainland and their families. I enjoyed the book but was slightly disappointed that I didn't feel the connection and empathy of the characters that I had previously read of in The Island.
