Victoria’s new novel published in September
The Wine-Dark Sea
The Wine-Dark Sea explores the turbulence of the post-war era in Greece in this unforgettable and riveting new novel that will delight those fans who cherish The Island and The Figurine.
During three years of brutal civil war in Greece, thousands of children were caught in the chaos that swept across the country. Huge numbers were orphaned, many found themselves imprisoned alongside their mothers and others were left to fend for themselves. The Wine-Dark Sea follows the travails of a mother, searching for both a daughter who has been kidnapped and taken behind the Iron Curtain and a boy who, unbeknown to her, has been sold into adoption.

« Les lieux évoqués me parlaient avec intensité, car je vivais précisément dans le quartier évoqué dans le roman. J'adore ce sentiment d'immersion total. »

"I was exhausted, bruised, living on painkillers and suffering intense aches and pains – side-effects not just of my new dance regime, but also of a drug I was taking after cancer treatment six months earlier. If I had wanted a challenge, to celebrate survival, I had found it."
