One night in August. HISLOP V.

Fifteen years after the novel “Island” saw the light, Victoria Khoslop returns to his heroes and resurrects the time that has become a long -standing past for us. In the late 1950s, a medicine for leprosy was created, and on the Greek island of Spinalong, a colony of lepers closed off the coast of Crete. The victory over a terrible disease meant the end of separation, which until recently seemed eternal; Heraveled people finally were able to hug their relatives. This happened on August 25, 1957. But in the midst of the holiday, shots suddenly sounded... The new grief fell upon the critic and changed the fate of many people. Freedom was taken from someone, it was granted to someone along with the right to a difficult choice: to hate or forgive.
