Representaion Conducive To Books Blackberry Wine

Jay Mackintosh is trapped by memory in the old familiar landscape of his childhood, more enticing than the present, and to which he longs to return. A bottle of home-brewed wine left to him by a long vanished friend seems to provide both the key to an old mystery and a doorway into another world. As the unusual properties of the strange brew takes effect, Jay escapes to a derelict farmhouse in the French village of Lansquenet , where a ghost from the past waits to confront him, and the reclusive Marise -haunted, lovely, and dangerous- hides a terrible secret behind her closed shuters. Between them, a mysterious chemistry. Or could it be magic?

Evaluate Regarding Books Blackberry Wine

Another story with special elements by this author. It's been a while since I've read one of her books...I can't say if it's this book in particular or if too long has gone since I was enamored by the author's writing and/or voice but I just didn't seem to connect as well with this one.I liked it how it ended but between the lack of connection with the characters and the continuous jumping from one time to the other (action takes place in two moments, the main character's childhood summers and

I loved this story, or maybe I should say, I was in love with this story, I was in love with Joe and his eccentric ways. I loved the gardening, the wine making, the magic. I was in love with the bond of love between old man Joe and young man Jay. This is a book about the young man growing into maturity, into a man who can love a woman and a child and protect what he values. Growing into a man who can accept the weaknesses and mistakes of others, accept those same things in himself, and figure

This lovely story about Jay & Jackapple Joe is one of my all time favourite books. I could read it over & over again.A story filled with nostalgia, a yearning for wonderful childhood memories, magic and trust. Jay goes on a journey of faith and self discovery, learning how to trust in himself and others, believe in magic and that anything is possible as he once did as a child. With a little help from Joe and his 'specials'. A wonderful heart warming tale that is a pleasure to read.

I really enjoyed this. I liked the setting (England and France) and the magical quality of the story. I liked the old character, Joe and in my mind saw one of our library patrons playing his part. It made me want to read more of Harris's books. I like the way she conveys that there is more going on in our lives than meets the eye.From Publishers WeeklyLike her well-received 1999 novel, Chocolat, Harris's latest outing unfolds around the arrival of an outsider in a tiny French town. This time

After enjoying Chocolat so much, I couldn't wait to read another book by this author, but I remember being very disappointed in this book. Not quite in the same league as Chocolat or even Five Quarters of an Orange.



Blackberry Wine (1999) & Five Quarters of the Orange (2001) by Joanne Harris Finished Reading: August 2015 Rating: 2/5 & 3/5 I read Harris' Five Quarters of the Orange & Blackberry Wine back to back, so I shall be reviewing them together. They are very similar, actually; a little too much. Both feature lead female protagonists that have strong, proud, independent, walled-away personalities, unwilling to accept, let alone ask, others for any sort of assistance. In both, they are not
