Joanne Harris- new book!!

I've only just discovered her via an audio book of "A Different Class", absolutely excellent must read "Gentlemen and Players" which I gather is a forerunner.

As per a previous post I had been mixing her up with another author, Jane Harris, also very good. I will have to read the books set in France, I saw the film "Chocolat" a long time ago, but given the favourable comments on here, I'm very tempted to try some of her others.

Just finished Gentlemen and Players. Totally gripping! I'll be catching up on other JH books, as well as reading reviews and recommendations on here...

Just finished the new book - The Strawberry Thief. 4th in Chocolat series & I suspect the last.
I have loved all the books except The Lollipop Shoes- which I found a bit slow.
This one ties up a lot of loose ends- no spoilers but it does make sense of some of the old story lines in previous books.
If it is the last I will miss Vianne but I have read all the books at least twice so this one will be an new ' old friend' 'in time.
I can read all her books time & time again - if I feel a bit down I reach for one of them!

Five Quarters of the Orange is my all time favourite JH book as well.

Love her books

Oh sorry I think you're right Lemon

It is Joanne Terri

That's good news. I like Joanne Harris's books, all of the above as well as Lollipop Shoes.

Another Joanne Harris fan here. My favourite JH book is Five Quarters of the Orange , closely followed by Blackberry wine. They were not really part of the “Chocolat” series but there are some similarities in the settings etc. These 2 novels are quite a bit darker than the rest of her novels.

I've only read "Gillespie and I" by her, loved it, so really should try some of her others. Did see the film "Chocolat" quite a few years ago, when Johnny Depp still looked good

Sorry to nit pick, but I think she's a Jane rather than Joanne, getting your Harris and Rowlings mixed up maybe?

Me to Ilovecheese and the other one ( goes with it) called Different Class. Brilliant.

The book of hers that I liked best is 'Gentlemen and Players'
