Just finished reading "The Island" by Victoria Hislop for the second time. Such a good book. Originally read it last summer before I visited the island of Spinalonga, which lies just off Plaka in Crete. If you haven't read it, it's about a generation of a family who have ties to the place and is very moving. I visited Spinalonga shortly after reading it, and it made the island come alive.
Well recommended.... read it, and if you go to Crete, visit Spinalonga. It's a place where history is 'warm' and thoroughly fascinating.
