Summary

"Thickly sensuous, wildly indulgent magical escapism: Chocolat lovers will drink deeply' GUARDIAN FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CHOCOLAT COMES THIS TANTALISING NOVEL SET IN THE SAME LITTLE FRENCH VILLAGE OF LANSQUENET... Jay Mackintosh is trapped by memory in the old familiar landscape of his childhood, to which he longs to return. A bottle of home-brewed wine left to him by a long-vanished friend seems to provide the key to an old mystery. As the unusual properties of the strange brew take effect, Jay escapes to a derelict farmhouse in the French village of Lansquenet. There, a ghost from the past waits to confront him, and the reclusive Marise - haunted, lovely and dangerous - hides a terrible secret behind her closed shutters. Between them, a mysterious chemistry. Or could it be magic? 'Joanne Harris has the gift of conveying her delight in the sensuous pleasures of food, wine, scent and plants... Blackberry Wine has all the appeal of a velvety scented glass of vintage wine' DAILY MAIL"
