Summer ends in Plaka, a village on the northern coast of Crete. Alexis, a young Englishwoman with a degree in archaeology, has chosen to go there because it is the birthplace and childhood home of her mother.
An awful discovery awaits Alexis, who knows nothing of her family's history: from 1903 to 1957, Spinalonga, the island facing Plaka that resembles a resting animal lying on its back, was a leper colony... and her great-grandmother is said to have perished there.
What frightening secrets does this island hold, topped by the ruins of a Venetian fortress? Why did Sophia, Alexis's mother, sever ties with her past so violently? The young woman is determined to uncover the heartbreaking fate of her ancestors and their dark secrets...
Heartbreaking plea against exclusion.
