I was disappointed when my request for an eGalley of this one wasn't approved. I love Joanne Harris and thought this sounded good. What do you think about the sound of this one?
The bestselling author of Chocolat and The
Girl with No Shadow returns to Lansquenet in this enchanting new novel —
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no
choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet, the
beautiful French village in which eight years ago she opened a chocolate
shop and first learned the meaning of home.
But returning to one?s past can be a dangerous pursuit. Vianne, with her daughters, Anouk and Rosette, finds Lansquenet changed in unexpected ways: women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea?and there, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the church, a minaret. Most surprising of all, her old nemesis, Father Francis Reynaud, desperately needs her help.
Can Vianne work her magic once again?

It sounds delightful to me! Sorry you didn't get the e-galley. :(
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for an ARC of this one too, but no luck. LOVED Chocolat so can't wait for this one. Have you read the others about the same characters?
ReplyDeleteI loved the other 2 books too so I'm hoping to read this soon. Maybe I can pick up a Dutch ARC if I'm lucky. Out in September, here, I think.
ReplyDeleteI think that one sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds wonderful. Maybe if you try again, they will give it to you.
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard of this one. It does sound good, and I enjoyed Chocolat. Too bad you didn't get the galley.
ReplyDeleteI just finished this - it came out June 1st in Australia (its called Peaches for Monsieur le Cure here) and I got a print copy for review. Its gorgeous so well worth waiting for!

I saw the description and really wanted it, until I realised that I actually haven't read the two books before it. I will get to it in due course.
ReplyDeleteI have both of her Choclat' books and have yet to read them but I loved the movie and found both at a library book sale!! You weren't approved??? Are they nuts? I try not to go there anymore and look at books. I have so many to read that it depresses me at times!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing. Sorry you weren't approved -- maybe try Paperback swap?
