Quotes by Victoria Hislop (?)

“Like any collection of family photographs, it was a random selection that told only fragments of a story. The real tale would be revealed by the pictures that were missing or never even taken at all, not the ones that had been so carefully framed or packed away neatly in an envelope.”
― Victoria Hislop, The Island

Each word held its magic. They were like brushstrokes painting the landscape of the city, each one helping to build up a picture of the whole.”
― Victoria Hislop, The Return
