Victoria Hislop - This event has been CANCELLED.
Start: 7:30 pm
This event has been CANCELLED. Colfax Avenue: Victoria Hislop, the internationally bestselling author of The Island, will read from and sign her new novel The Return ($14.99 HarperCollins). Already a bestseller in the UK, The Return is a captivating novel of family, love, and betrayal set against a backdrop of civil war, flamenco, and fiery Spanish passion. In this book, Hislop transports the reader to Granada, Spain, in a time of historic turmoil to tell a colorful and spellbinding saga of a family inspired by music and dance, only to be torn apart by fragile hearts and divided loyalties during the bitter war that brought the dictator Generalissimo Francisco Franco to power.
