"Island" has achieved a million-dollar sales miracle in China. Victoria Hislop came to China to attend the premiere ceremony in person with her masterpiece "Sunrise Hotel". "Sunrise Hotel" is overflowing with friendship, love, loyalty, betrayal, and hope in an epic family legend and historical conflict. The wrong love here lasts for a lifetime, but the awakening only lasts for a moment. Hate here is blind, and so is love. On the Mediterranean coast, the Sunrise Hotel is waiting quietly. The sun rises in everyone's morning. But few people realize that the morning light comes for themselves.

This is a bright and sad story on the Aegean Sea. Well-known British writer and best-selling author of "The Island", Victoria Hyslop's latest collection of short stories includes ten works. The book contains cheese-like sunsets, amber seas, and touching stories that are enough to touch and nourish the coldest heart.

A companion volume to the global bestseller "Island": equally sad and moving, equally confusing. Using the "return" story of a woman to find herself, a lamentable legend is revealed. Taking the real history of the Spanish Civil War as the background, the description of the insignificance and humbleness of love in the face of war makes people infinitely sighing, sad, alert and thoughtful. In a quiet cafe in Spain, Sonia, a British girl traveling alone, was deeply attracted by the many photos on the wall. In dozens of old photos, they are all the same person, the same girl, and she dances the flamenco dance that makes Sonia intoxicated and obsessed. The girl's figure is graceful, her dance is full of passion, and a soul-stirring throb hits her face. When she took a closer look, Sonia was stunned: she vaguely recognized that the dancing girl was her mother when she was young. Why did my mother's photo appear in a cafe thousands of miles away?

"That day, I knew I was separated from something, but I couldn't remember what it was that was separated from me." Five-year-old Katerina was separated from her mother and sister. She walked alone through unfamiliar streets, searched every street, and searched for every refugee tent. She reminded herself all the time: Always remember what your mother looks like! Always remember your sister. Twenty years later, she finally received news from her mother, which was bad news: her mother was dead. She couldn't cry. She couldn't remember her mother's face at all, and she had completely forgotten what her sister looked like... The story had just begun.

This new novel by the author of the best-selling book "Island" contrasts with Hislop's gentle narrative rhythm and uses suspenseful text and 67 pages of interjected notes to construct a beautiful and mysterious adventure. Ellie Thomas, who is alone in a foreign land, is tired of the cold weather and unchanged life in London. Suddenly from one day onwards, she kept receiving postcards from Greece, but the recipient S did not live there. The identity of the sender A is confusing, but the scenery on the postcard tempted Ellie, and she decided to go to Greece. On the morning of leaving for the airport, she found a blue notebook stuffed in the mailbox, recording an adventure and healing journey of A - after being abandoned by S, he traveled through mysterious villages and mountains where ancient monks lived. The stories are intertwined, with mysteries hidden between the lines. Finally, I feel like I'm getting closer to the truth, but I'm involved in another mystery...
