Well the book speaks about an island, Spinalonga. This island is on Crete, near in Heraklion. It was Venetian stronghold, Turkey stronghold and after leper colony. It was leper colony from 1903 until 1957. Victoria Hislop tried to find a publisher and she did. Then a greek publisher read this book and now is here.

From this book a greek channel, named Mega, made a series called "Το νησί"("The Island" in english).
