"can't you see, iI'm white, british, a skilled worker—we don't get leprosy!" was what clifford wanted to shout at the doctor. but the diagnosis was definite. he had to leave immediately for a leper colony—and it would be best if his relatives thought he'd died because of the stigma associated with the disease.

this moving book tells of his struggle to live a full and worthwhile life, to give and receive love. It is a story that will warm your heart and remain long in your memory.
clifford finds himself quarantined on an island with no hope and no plumbing, a stinking hole where people, old as well as children, live under makeshift shelters and eat the meagre rations the government throws their way, the forgotten outcasts of society. clifford has two great loves in his life, fatherly love for an orphaned Indian girl, and a forbidden love from his past, both of which give Clifford the strength and hope he needs to change the world. And just as Clifford thinks he could have lost both loves forever and has lost all hope, a beautiful moment between clifford and nature changes everything.
have you spent your life not really knowing anything about leprosy except seeing hooded figures in the background of movies? tis the assumption that they are not to be associated with, that they are dirty and infectious? Can you imagine how that would feel? You are about to find out if you open the first page.
