From the Back Cover:
Jay Mackintosh is trapped by memory in the old familiar landscape of his childhood, more enticing than the present, and to which he longs to return. A bottle of home-brewed wine left to him by a long-vanished friend seems to provide both the key to an old mystery and a doorway into another world. As the unusual properties of the strange brew takes effect, Jay escapes to a derelict farmhouse in the French village of Lansquenet, where 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?
A tantalising new novel from the author of the bestselling Chocolat.

Thanks so much for sending! I can't wait to read it. :)
This wasn't Harris' best, but it sure was original! After reading the first few pages I had to keep referring to the back of the book to make sure I understood what was going on. Once I got into the swing of the book it was fun, but it was much different from what I expected. Although this book wasn't completely my cup of tea, I am really looking forward to reading the other books I have by Joanne Harris.
Thanks so much for sharing! I'll be passing it on. :)

Sounds great... and it's a trade paperback, my favorite. Thanks so much!
Wow - I was so surprised by this book, it is nothing at all like I imagined. I thought it was going to be a love story, but instead I find it's about a man thinking back 20 years or so when he befriended a quirky old man who made wine...it has a kind of magical mystical spin. The chapters are short and the book flies by.
