N2  - Arriving in Plaka, Alexis is astonished to see that it lies a stone's throw from the tiny, deserted island of Spinaloga- Greece's former leper colony. Then she finds Fotini, and at last hears the story that Sofia has buried all her life: the tale of her great-grandmother Eleni and her daughters, and a family rent by tragedy, war and passion. She discovers how intimately she is connected with the island, and how secrecy holds them all in its powerful grip
