One of the nation's favourite novelists, Victoria Hislop, was at Faber today signing copies of The Story.
Picked by Stylist as a Must Read for September and celebrating the art of the short story, this is the complete anthology of short stories written by women for women.
Witty, heartbreaking, shocking, satirical: the short story can excite or sadden, entice or repulse. The one thing it can never be is dull.
Over 500 copies signed in less than one hour - a Head of Zeus record.
Catch Victoria Hislop at the following festivals this month:
Hampstead and Highgate Literary Festival on 19th September
Cheltenham Literary Festival on 7th October
