SUMMARY:Chorleywood Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to welcome bestselling author Victoria Hislop back to Chorleywood this autumn\, where she’ll be chatting about her unforgettable new novel The Wine-Dark Sea. \nGreece\, 1946. In the power vacuum remaining after the Second World War\, a brutal civil war erupts between rival left- and right-wing factions. The conflict spirals as the country pays a bitter price in human lives and fighting soon erupts in the mountains\, turning villages into battlefields and pulling ordinary women and children into the fray. \nWhen the government soldiers come to Kalopetra\, Fotini is nursing her newborn second child. She urges her daughter\, Ileana\, to hide with the older children as she and the other women are herded into trucks. Weeks later\, soldiers return for the children . . . but they are not to be reunited with their mothers\, a wholly different fate awaits them. \nFotini finds herself transported to a prison on the island of Chios\, where she befriends a fellow mother\, Markella\, whose son Nikos is a boat-obsessed child\, wise beyond his years. And when\, after months of imprisonment\, Fotini and Markella find themselves separated from one another – and from Nikos – Fotini vows to hunt not only for Ileana\, but also Nikos\, whatever it takes. \nFor more information\, or to buy tickets\, click here \n

SUMMARY:Linghams\, Parkgate\, Cheshire
DESCRIPTION:Linghams Bookshop is thrilled to welcome back to the Wirral Vistoria Hislop with her brand new book! \nVictoria will be in conversation at Neston Club in Parkgate\, Neston \nBeloved\, bestselling author Victoria Hislop explores the turbulence of the post-war era\nin Greece in this unforgettable and riveting new novel that will delight those fans who\ncherish The Island and The Figurine. \nDuring three years of brutal civil war in Greece\, thousands of children were caught in the chaos that\nswept across the country. Huge numbers were orphaned\, many found themselves imprisoned\nalongside their mothers and others were left to fend for themselves. The Wine-Dark Sea follows the\ntravails of a mother\, searching for both a daughter who has been kidnapped and taken behind the\nIron Curtain and a boy who\, unbeknown to her\, has been sold into adoption. \nVictoria Hislop said\, ‘I am excited about the publication of The Wine-Dark Sea\, which is my tenth\nbook. The post-war period in Greece has many untold stories\, buried through shame and a desire\nto forget. Research took me not just to obscure corners of Greece itself\, but also outside it\, to\nHungary and the US. I continue to learn so much about Greece\, in particular the lesser-known parts\nof its history\, which are a source of great inspiration. The hidden stories of this country\, that has\nmade me its own\, continue to fascinate me and provide rich material for fiction.’ \nthe event will be followed by a book signing . \n  \nTickets can be puchased here. \n
