Acclaim for Blackberry Wine:
'A lively and original talent'
Sunday Times
"Harris is at her best when detailing the sensual pleasures of
taste and smell. As chocoholics stand advised to stock up on
some of their favourite bars before biting into Chocoldt, so
boozers everywhere should get a couple of bottles in before
opening Blackberry Wine'
Helen Falconer, Guardian
'Joanne Harris has the gift of conveying her delight in the
sensuous pleasures of food, wine, scent and plants . . . [Blackberry
Wine] has all the appeal of a velvety scented glass of
vintage wine'
Lizzie Buchan, Daily Mail
"If Joanne Harris didn't exist, someone would have to invent her,
she's such a welcome antidote to the modern preoccupation with
the spare, pared down and non-fattening. Not for her the doubtful
merits of an elegant and expensive sparkling water or an undressed
rocket salad. In her previous novel, Chocolat, she invoked
the scent and the flavour of rich, dark, sweet self-indulgence. In
Blackberry Wine she celebrates the sensuous energy that can leap
from a bottle after years of fermentation . . . Harris bombards the
senses with the smells and tastes of times past . . . Harris's talent
lies in her own grasp of the quality she ascribes to wine, "layman's
alchemy, the magic of everyday things." She is fanciful and
grounded at the same time - one moment shrouded in mystery,
the next firmly planted in earth. Above all, she has wit'

'Touching, funny and clever narrative . . . [Joanne Harris] is no
one-hit wonder Ч in fact she is so terrific, she can write about
anywhere, anything, anyone. And I hope she does so. Soon'
Susannah Herbert, Daily Telegraph
'Enchanting'
Woman's Journal
'An engrossing tale of mystery, self-discovery and romance ... A
hugely enjoyable read'
The Lady
'Blackberry Wine is going to appeal to all sorts of people'
Angela Lambert, Literary Review
'Both novels [Chocolat and Blackberry Wine] display immense
charm - an admirable lightness of touch and warmth of
characterization which make for a delightful read'
Michael Arditti, Independent
