I picked this up from bookmooch. Imagine my suprise the day after receiving it finding a copy on one of my shelves already! This was the first book I ever read by Joanne Harris and it firmly cemented her in my author's whose book I must read list.

Amazon Editorial Review

When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous woman they hold responsible for a tragedy during the German occupation years ago. But the past and present are inextricably entwined, particularly in a scrapbook of recipes and memories that Framboise has inherited from her mother. And soon Framboise will realize that the journal also contains the key to the tragedy that indelibly marked that summer of her ninth year. . . .

I like the way food and wine are woven into the story and how the reading of her mother's recipe book helps her to understand her mother.

I didnt have any preconceptions about this book before I started it ( despite having read Chocolat many years ago), but I found this really engrossing. Fantastic story/mystery - Framboise is such am interesting character and I love how she was able to learn more about her mother whilst reading the cookbook.
