#17 Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris

Up to page 251. I've read Chocolat, and I've seen the movie. I'm surprised this was written after Chocolat as the main characters in that book have cameo roles. For that reason I thought it would have been written before Chocolat, and then those characters developed in Chocolat.

Although the story is not the same, it's easy to see that these books were published within a year or so of each other. The mysticism is there, as are gypsies, and small town France. If you liked Chocolat, you'll like this. Even though they are too close in subject to me, I'm still looking foward to reading her other books. These are interesting subjects to me although a little contrived after a couple books :)
