Blackberry Wine (Abridged) Audiobook

" everyone raves about Chocolat but in my opinion this book is far superior. told from the point of view of the bottles of wine it shows expertise in story telling. another one i never mind re reading "

" This was a very fun, magical read. "

" my absolute favourite of hers! "

" Story of a blocked English author who is haunted by his past and finds a new life in France. Same little town as in Chocolat. Forgettable. "

" Better than Five Quarters of an Orange, Blackberry Wine is lighter and more hopeful. The main character is likeable and the setting in France was lovely. The ending was just right. "

" Loved the way it reminded of my youth and simultaneously encourages you to let go of the past and move on. If you you have green fingers and enjoy a glass or two it's winner. Read on Holiday in Wales. Fantastic "

" By the author of Chocolat: Good "power-out" reading, tiny French villages never seem to have too much electricity in your face. I enjoyed the gardening info, and Joe's T-shirts. "

" A nicely-woven story, delightfull, witty and all in all a pleasure "

" Another superb story of France from Joanne Harris. This one can easily and acceptably be read as a ghost story. Recommended. "

" Moving, beautifully written and with the touch of magic that Joanne Harris brings to all her novels. 'Blackberry Wine' is a simple enough tale but Harris' expert story-telling makes it a page turner. "

" Joanne Harris allo stato puro. Una storia di magia, di cibo e vino che riporta indietro nel passato. Molto carino e ben scritto. "

" Usually I love Joanne Harris' novels, but this one just doesn't make the cut. I'm going to go read her Holy Fools again.....that's a page turner. "

" Since I loved Chocolat, I decided to read Joanne Harris other books. This was a surprising read and kept me enthralled. "

" I didn't expect to love this book and ended up loving this book the best. A lot of soul in this story, I wanted to to go on and on... "

" One of my favorite books. So beautifully written and warm story... =) "

" Subtly magical, beautiful gardens, and quiet, powerful plot. "

" Has a bit ofthe paranormal which I don't care for. "

" Better than Chocolat, and I loved Chocolat! "

" Such a simple story but very moving. Easy to read. Some magic . "

" My first experience of Joanne Harris, and so glad I ventured there. Her gentle way of bringing in a 'touch of other' helps make it all the more believable. Have visited France, and breathed in the land from the valleys I imagined while reading this book. Inspiring! "

" I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as Holy Fools or Chocolat, which is still my favorite of Harris's. I love her writing and will continue to read her other stories. I also love the food, nature, gypsy and single mother with daughter elements of her books. "

" Loved it!!! I wanted to climb inside the book and eat the words off the page. "

" I was dissapointed after adoring Chocolat. The story couldn't keep my interest. "

" Blackberry Wine is my favorite of all Joanne Harris's books. You literally feel like you are in a small town in France and can smell the wine and taste the food. She is a beautiful writer. I think I've read this book about 10 times over. "

" O meu romance favorito da Joanne Harris. "

" Delightful. Talking wine. A character that could have been my grandad, the armchair encyclopedia and traveller. A super tale. Can't remember much only that I thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" Hated the first 50 pages. Magical realism usually turns me off. But I went with it and was glad I did. "

" I was dissapointed after adoring Chocolat. The story couldn't keep my interest. "

" An easy read. Fun idea... nice to read with a glass of wine! "

" A nicely-woven story, delightfull, witty and all in all a pleasure "

" I ploughed through it on a rainy day, enjoying it well enough. I'd have given it another fraction of a star, but *Spoiler Alert* the word "rosy" actually appears in the book's very last sentence. "

" A lovely story! Takes place in the same little town that she wrote about in "Chocolat", along with a couple of the characters from that book as well. "

" I loved this book. Although there are similarities in theme and characterization to her other novels, Joanne Harris takes my heart on this one. "

" Story of a blocked English author who is haunted by his past and finds a new life in France. Same little town as in Chocolat. Forgettable. "

" Subtly magical, beautiful gardens, and quiet, powerful plot. "

" I enjoy Harris for her ways of winding fiction, food, wine, countryside all together. The plot had a little twist - a little far fetched but I enjoyed all of it. A coming of age story, a story of someone finding their way. Would have given a 3.5 if possible. "

" Though not my favorite I did really like this book. It had a very nostaligic feel about it and the wahole thing with the bottles was cool. "

" I loved this book. A writer buys a house and "sees" Joe, his old mentor. "
