It might be. I think I actually have The Island somewhere.

Joann and Sherry, you both know so much more about it than me, but I definitely learned a lot reading it.
Someone on another board mentioned to me about another book set in Greece that also dealt with leper colonies, but she couln't remember the name of the book. Do any of you know what it might be?

I haven't posted in a long time, but after recieving an email from JoAnn, I decided to stop by.
I finished Moloka'i by Alan Brennert last week, and really enjoyed it. I'm sure I learned about the leper colonies eons ago when I was in school, but don't really remember much about this. It was fascinating to read about it. My husband has been to Hawaii a couple of times (unfortunately before we met) and I need to ask him if he was to Moloka'i and what he knows about it. I also just finished Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews. Yesterday I started East of the Sun by Julia Gregson, about young British women in the 1920's going to India to find husbands.

I read Handle with Care a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. I found it to be a fairly fast read.
