Informationen zum Autor Joanne Harris is the internationally renowned and award-winning author of over twenty novels. Her Whitbread-shortlisted novel Chocolat was adapted to the screen, starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. She is the author of several other bestsellers, including The Lollipop Shoes , Peaches for Monsieur Le Curé and The Strawberry Thief . She has also written acclaimed novels in such diverse genres as fantasy based on Norse myth ( Runemarks, Runelight, The Gospel of Loki ), and the Malbry cycle of dark psychological thrillers ( Gentlemen & Players, Blueeyedboy, and Different Class ). Born in Barnsley, of an English father and a French mother, she spent fifteen years as a teacher before (somewhat reluctantly) becoming a full-time writer. In 2013, she was awarded an MBE, and in 2022 an OBE. She lives in Yorkshire, plays bass and flute in a band first formed when she was sixteen, and works in a shed in her garden. She is an honorary Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and served for four years as Chair of the Society of Authors. She also has a form of synaesthesia which enables her to smell colours. Red, she says, smells of chocolate. Klappentext A revised and updated reissue of Harris's first novel, a dark chilling story.
