MEDIA REVIEWS
Orfeia is tragic,emotional,beautiful,thought-provoking,moving and poignantThis dreamy,melancholy novella is saturated with sacrifice,richness and a sense of layered worlds.
Joanne Harris
Following two relatively niche novels,Joanne Harris achieved worldwide acclaim with her self-proclaimed'funny little book'Chocolat,a delicious tale of belonging and temptation of which the Literary Review famously asked,'is this the best book ever written'Further tales in the Chocolat universe followed,but Harris has wasted no time in spreading her very capable wings into other genres,including the YA universe of the Rune series and even a Doctor Who novella. Her Malbry series - based around the exploits at St Oswald's Grammar school in the fictional town of Malbry - plays perfectly to Harris's strengths,combining deft characterisation with a typically nuanced,multi-layered narrative. The latest in the Chocolat sequence,The Strawberry Thief,was published in 2019.
