«L'île des oubliés» is the historical novel by Victoria Hislop, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (528 pages, in French).
On the north coast of Crete, Alexis, a young English archaeologist, travels to Plaka, the village where her mother was born, to discover her family's past. Facing that coast, the island of Spinalonga was a leper colony between 1903 and 1957; her great-grandmother died there. The story of that isolation and its silences explains why her mother broke with that place.
