The Island

I finished reading "the Island" this week, which was a book I received as a gift on my Birthday (though I was there when it was bought in the bookstore at Agios Nikolaos).   It was an interesting read; but it was filled with heartache - the difficulties faced particularly by those who were caring and hard-working, the troubles caused by the selfish, etc.

To me, what I liked most, was that it was a reminder of my trip to Greece, and specifically to Crete.   I could picture some of the places the book would describe; and remembered trying to learn some of the Greek words mentioned, like 'Kalimera.'    Overall, it was fun to kind of "re-live" being in Greece; and at the same time learn something about the history.
