This story set on a small neglected (by this I mean neglected by tourists) island near Sicily and Italy has the characteristics of books that I personally love. There are interesting characters and a family saga set in a location in which I love to travel. An orphan boy ends up becoming a doctor and settles in this remote location. Eventually marrying and raising a family, he becomes an integral part of the community as does his daughter. World War I, World War II and up into the new century we watch the interconnectedness of the residents and the island’s hold even on those who leave.
