Victoria Hislop
The Figurine
Victoria Hislop - author of the three-million-copies bestseller The Island - will talk about her new book The Figurine. In conversation with Rosie Goldsmith, she will whisk us around the Aegean and through time to part the mists of mystery that swirl around the unique Bronze Age statuettes. Of all the ancient art that captures the imagination, none is more appealing than the Cycladic figurines that are highly sought after by collectors and looters alike. Victoria will shine a light on the questionable acquisition of cultural treasures and the price people – and countries – pay to cling on to them. One of the UK’s most popular novelists, all Victoria’s books have been bestsellers including The Return, The Thread, The Sunrise, Cartes Postales from Greece and Those Who Are Loved.
