Victoria Hislop & Gill Smith: Maria's Island

Victoria Hislop’s phenomenal bestseller The Island has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, including 1 million copies in the UK alone.

Now she returns to Spinalonga to tell the story of Maria Petrakis, one of the children in the original version of the novel.
A story that explores themes of isolation, prejudice and loss with great sensitivity, Maria’s Island is also a story about resilience, courage, and ultimately, hope.
Victoria will be joined by Gill Smith, the illustrator of this beautiful book, to discuss how the project came about via Zoom.

Tickets: £5 - £10.99
