Review:
'There's a lot of history in The Thread, but Victoria Hislop's lightness of touch and warm lyrical style make it a lesson you genuinely relish...The real power of this work lies in the intense and sensitively drawn relationships between the generations - grandparent and grandchild - and childhood friends torn apart by their backgrounds. Mix in pervasive descriptions of Greece so vivid you can almost smell the Mediterranean aromas and it's impossible not to lose yourself in Hislop's tempestuous world' (Australian Women's Weekly)
'Sweeping, magnificently detailed and ambitious' (The Sunday Times)
'Fast-paced narrative and utterly convincing sense of place' (Guardian)
'Beautifully crafted prose makes this a pleasure to read' (Image, Ireland)
'Hislop writes vibrant, eminently accessible and emotionally nuanced fiction' (The Age)
'Fresh, tenacious and rather intrepid' (Independent)
'This is storytelling at its best and just like a tapestry, when each thread is sewn into place, so emerge the layers and history of relationships past and present' (Sunday Express)
'Hislop gives life to the way both World War II and the Greek Civil War brought fear and persecution to this community through her very thorough research, and cleverly weaves in the lives of her characters' (Launceston Examiner)
Her best novel yet (Scotsman)
'A brilliant page turner and destined to become a reading group staple, THE THREAD is rich with drama and historical detail' (Glamour)
