Blackberry Wine

Blackberry wine is another Joanne Harris magical realism novel, published in 2000, It is set half in Yorkshire and half in the fictional village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, the setting of Harris' Chocolat.

The book relies on Harris' typical split-narrative technique, and follows two separate timelines, one set in present-day France, one set in Yorkshire twenty years ago, during a pivotal time in the protagonist's life. Unusually, the US and the UK versions of this book are significantly different, with the US version written entirely in the third person, but the UK version (which precedes it) written from the somewhat whimsical point of view of a bottle of vintage wine.
