What a beautifully written book where the two timelines blend seamlessly together. Guy’s wartime story showed bravery and cruelty but most of all a determination to make a difference. Leo’s love for Guy took her on a journey to Vis to complete Guy’s story. The description of the scenery and surrounding areas especially the house Leo stayed in made the story so real.

A book I couldn’t put down and one that will stay with me

I loved this book and was captivated from the beginning. A story about a side of war that is seldom covered. It was so beautifully written and clearly well researched. The way it went from one timeline to the other was very clever. The description of Vis and the property that Leo rented made me feel as though I was there. The story of Guy and Leo and the way they helped each other was both touching and heartbreaking. A thought provoking story of family, love and heartbreak.

An Island of Secrets by Eva Glyn is such a wonderful story!
I couldn't get enough of it.
Guy and Leo's journey was amazing, sad and rewarding all at the same time.
This is such a beautifully written, atmospheric book, everything about this book is just so perfect and beautiful, the writing, a compelling storyline, the characters and setting!
I couldn't get enough of this one and look forward to reading more of her books in the future.
