Joanne Harris
Hi, apologies if she has been mentioned on here already (I am still trying to find my way round:smile2Smile but I am about to embark on a few of her books. Apart from Chocolat which I'll assume is the best one to start off with, what other ones of hers would you recommend?

Many thanks.

Edit: it would perhaps help if I spelt her name correctly - sorry - Joanne Harris

RE: Joanne Harris
Gentlemen and Players is my favourite of hers, closely followed by Five Quarters of the Orange.
I also like Blackberry Wine - but some people struggle with it because it's party told by the point of view of a wine bottle! If you can get your hear round that then it's a very enjoyable read. Smile
I haven't read Coastliners yet, but it's on my 'to read' shelf. Smile

RE: Joanne Harris
I've only read Gentlemen and Players and I really enjoyed it! I didn't want to put it down for anything.
I've also started Chocolat once and I like it too, but for some reason or another didn't finish it.

RE: Joanne Harris
I just finished 5 quarters of the orange, and I think it's the best of them all. The storyline is really good, there are a couple of 'sub plots' going on, and as the story progresses, certain issues come to light....
I loved this book!

RE: Joanne Harris
If you enjoyed Chocolat, you should read Lollipop Shoes. It has some of the same characters and is a good read too. I also enjoyed Five Quarters of the Orange

RE: Joanne Harris
I picked up a copy of Lollipop Shoes the other week and I have just signed up for a bookring for The Evil Seed. Not my usual type of red but am willing to give it a try.

I saw a book by her in a charity shop today, but I picked up two others so I might grab it another day.
