This is another easy to read book. An entertaining tale, and again the characters are brought to life by Joanne Harris.
The story flashes between a Yorkshire mining town of the mid 70s, to London in 1999 as a once successful author changes his life and buys a derelict farmhouse in the french village of Lansquenet.
It took until page 158 for me to realise that the french village Lansquenet is the same placz as forms the centrepiece of "Chocolat". I hadn't expected that and it works really well. The characters in both books are well presented and so it's really interesting to find out what became of them
My rating: magical
