Victoria Hislop (born Victoria Hamson) is an award winning British author. She read English at St Hilda's College, Oxford and worked in publishing and as a journalist before becoming an author.

Her first novel "The Island", which the "Sunday Express" hailed as "the new Captain Corelli's Mandolin", was a Number 1 Bestseller in the UK, its success in part the result of having been selected by the "Richard and Judy" Book Club for their 2006 Summer Reads.
