Wimbledon Book Fest

Bestselling novelist Victoria Hislop returns to Wimbledon BookFest with The Wine‑Dark Sea, her tenth novel and a powerful exploration of Greece’s post‑war past, celebrating history, place, and the hidden stories that continue to inspire unforgettable fiction. 

It is now twenty years since The Island, the novel that launched Victoria Hislop’s lifelong bond with Greece and her remarkable career as a storyteller. Two decades on, she is still discovering the country’s lesser-known stories and bringing them, with characteristic warmth, to a global readership. 

‘Nobody writes about Greece quite like Victoria Hislop.’
