“I've come to believe that how we choose to live with pain, or injustice, or death....is the true measure of the Divine within us.”
― Alan Brennert, Moloka'i


I did not know anything about Leprosy or it's history before reading this book.

SPOILERS:

It's a heart breaking book and there is alot of darkness and loss throughout. It is also on the long side. I had a difficult time finishing it, not because it was not good but because it was so long and was not really what I was looking for at the time. But it was on my to read list so I decided to do it.

I did enjoy the book and feel like I learned alot which is great. It was not a book I adored and it was not one I immediately got involved in either. I may read this again at a later time and do feel it would make a great read for Historical Fiction lovers.
