One Night in August

Fifteen years after the release of the novel «The Island», Victoria Hislop returns to its characters and resurrects a time that has become a distant past for us.
In the late 1950s, a cure for leprosy was created, and the... leper colony on the Greek island of Spinalonga off the coast of Crete closed down.
Victory over this terrible disease meant the end of a separation that had seemed eternal not long ago; healed people were finally able to embrace their loved ones.
This happened on August 25, 1957. But in the midst of the celebration, gunshots rang out suddenly...
New grief descended on the Cretans and changed the destinies of many people.
Some had their freedom taken away, while for others it was granted along with the difficult choice: to hate or to forgive.
