Peaches for Monsieur le Curé (Chocolat 3)

“Vianne - unconventional, good-hearted, slightly magical - blows in like a refreshing breeze, forcing people to question their prejudices. A delight”

The Times

“Expertly crafted, typically mouthwatering”

Daily Mail

“A delightful jumble of the sensuous sights, sounds and smells the author describes so well”

Glamour

“Her characteristic love affair with texture – scents, smells and sounds – immerses the reader in a bath of seductive imagery in a brave and grippingly confected story”

The Sunday Times

“Prepare to be transported by Joanne Harris as she revisits the characters and setting of her first bestseller, Chocolat...Deftly tackling the subject of religious intolerance, this bewitching novel stirs the senses”

Good Housekeeping (Book of the Month)

“A wide-ranging, powerful and very readable novel. I loved it”

Red

“Like Chocolat, this book is a feast for the senses. Every page of the book is steeped in scents, colours and tastes, without ever tipping into the pretentious or showy. The writing is seductive and engaging throughout; and the magic, too, is intrinsic without ever being soppy or embarrassing. What is magic (or religion), after all, if not an ability to understand the human heart? Peaches for Monsieur le Curé is a wonderful return to form for Harris”

Literary Review

“Fasting and feasting, magic and mysticism are once again at the heart of this author's storytelling sorcery”

The Lady

“Absorbing and atmospheric...Joanne bravely tackles religious differences head-on but very sensitively. It's expressive, rich, vibrant and even shocking in parts”

Heat Magazine

“Exotic, thought-provoking and wonderfully told”

Woman & Home

“An enchanting read, ripe for summer picking”

France Magazine

“What Joanne Harris has done with this brilliant novel is to define in microcosm the religious problems that concern the world - terrorism, race riots, honour killings, the sexual grooming of teenagers - and bring them to life in a community where everyone knows each other...she provides an indictment of prejudice that is exceptionally powerful.”
