Victoria Hislop Book Signing and Chat at Mr. Books

took place on Saturday May 23rd 4pm to 5pm

Victoria, who has strong connections with Tonbridge and is the wife of the wonderfully witty Ian Hislop, came to Mr. Books to talk informally about her best selling novels, The Island and The Return, and to sign copies of the books.  We hope that this was the first of many big name and up and coming author signings at Mr. Books. Watch this space.... Also see book signings at the West Kent Book Fair and Literary Event held twice a year at Tonbridge School.
