A review by lou_mac
One August Night, by Victoria Hislop

3.0

I normally love Victoria Hislop books because she creates these vivid images of the surroundings and the way the characters relate to it are beautiful. As this was a sequel I felt she made less of a picture of the surroundings despite the fact many parts are in new settings. I love the Island and I wonder if I would have benefited from rereading it before picking this up as there were moments I forgot the back story to some of the characters. Having said that, it all wrapped up really nicely and tied some knots in stories which I guess we're unfinished (although, I don't remember feeling unsatisfied at the the end of island)
