DISAPPEAR INTO THE WORLD OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING CHOCOLAT . . . 'So wise, so atmospheric, so beautifully written' Marian Keyes 'The most magical, stunningly beautiful novel' Joanna Cannon 'It will intrigue and charm readers every bit as much as Chocolat ' Monica Ali --------------------------- Faith. Secret. Magic. Murder...? Vianne Rocher has settled down. Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, the place that once rejected her, has finally become her home.

But when old Narcisse, the florist, dies, leaving a parcel of land to Rosette and a written confession to Reynaud, the life of the sleepy village is once more thrown into disarray. Then the opening of a mysterious new shop in the place of the florist's across the square - one that mirrors the chocolaterie, and has a strange appeal of its own - seems to herald a change: a confrontation, a turbulence - even, perhaps, a murder . . .

empowering and celebrating women
The Strawberry Thief is a book that comes with strong credentials as it is written by Joanne Harris. In 2000, her 1999 novel Chocolat was adapted to the screen, starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. She is an honorary Fellow of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, and in 2013 was awarded an MBE by the Queen. I was expecting great things and I was not disappointed. I would not call this book a typical page turner although others do. Rather it is like a very fine French red wine that is there to be indulged in and to be savoured over time. Like the best of wines, there are undertones that intrigue and delight. Like a wine, you can enjoy the anticipation as you get the first hint of its magic from the nose, enjoy the experience of the drinking in of the story and then cherish the memories made during that particular soiree. This is my The Strawberry Thief book review.
As a reader, you are transported to the fictional French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes. I have lived in France for a period and the rich writing really gets over that special air of a French village full of characters and a wonderful culture. We have the chocolaterie, the florist and the church. We have very diverse characters living their lives and confronting their challenges as best they can.
There are changes in the village first sensed and then coming firmly into view. The Strawberry Thief centres around the will of village florist Narcisse, who leaves his land to Vianne’s very special and unique daughter, Rosette. This causes annoyance to say the least to his own blood relatives. Another legacy is a written confession for Father Reynaud which will evoke strong emotions in the priest. Vianne will also face new challenges and feelings as a new shop opens in the village. The book has chapters in the voices of Vianne the mother, Rosette the daughter with special needs and Reynaud the priest.
The novel made me reflect on something my late Dad told me not too long before he became terminally ill. “Life changes” he said. It sounds quite a trite saying but the way he said it delivered a meaning and perhaps a prediction of what would play out in our family life all too soon. When I arrived in a charming French village for a new adventure, I loved the friendliness of the place and the strong characters. I wanted it to stay the same forever and actually believed it could. Time tells a different story with one of my favourite male characters moving away, with the end of romantic relationships and the start of new ones. The village has seen business changes, disputes and deaths. There is even talk of murder so I can see parallels between a village I know well in France and the village in the Strawberry Thief.
I loved how this novel got over a concept my late mum used to share with me that there is more to this life than we know. I think the concept she talked of has many layers to it. There are the secrets and shames we keep to ourselves terrified that they may be revealed at some point. There are our fears of change. There are our instincts and feelings. Why did my mum always fear Concorde convinced it would harm our family? How can we meet someone and know that we know them on a heart level even on our first meeting? Is it the people who are often rejected or seen as outsiders who end up being the ones who can contribute most to the world? Is there a magic behind all this?
I cannot rate Joanne Harris’ writing highly enough. It is poetic and beautiful. It gets over the characters in great detail. It is a complex tale as characters in the village learn to navigate each other. I have heard other reviewers use words like magical, enchanting and gothic and quite fairly too. I think it is the type of book that every individual will get something different from much like life, wine. chocolate and strawberries.

It sounds a nice read but I’m not sure that it is one for me #readwithme
It’s a change from my usual choice, but I really like the sound of this one.
Oooo I love your review, I am however in two minds as to whether I’d really enjoy reading this myself! #readwithme
This sounds like a really good read and would make a nice change from my usual diet of psychological thrillers. I’m not sure whether I’ve ever read a Joanne Harris before.
Looks like an intriguing read! #GlobalBlogging

I t is 20 years since Joanne Harris published Chocolat , her bestselling novel adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Juliette Binoche and Judi Dench. The Strawberry Thief, Harris’s fourth novel following the life of chocolatier Vianne Rocher, shares much with the original in terms of theme and setting. Again, the location is the sleepy fictional village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes in south-west France. Again, the time of year is Lent, provoking tensions between abstinence and self-fulfilment. And as with Chocolat , the arrival of a stranger to the village precipitates community tensions, questions of faith and loyalty, and fear of the unknown.
The interloper in The Strawberry Thief is Morgane Dubois, a tattooist with an uncanny ability to know the image her clients need inked on to their skin. Her arrival follows the death of the elderly florist, Narcisse, whose empty shop Morgane occupies. Much to the fury of Narcisse’s daughter, Michèle, he has left a parcel of land to Vianne’s younger daughter, Rosette, a bequest that leads to conflict and subterfuge.
Meanwhile, Narcisse, while never having been a religious man during his life, has left a lengthy written confession with the priest, Reynaud, a document that not only reveals tragedies from Narcisse’s life, but also triggers Reynaud’s guilt and self-loathing about an incident from his own past.
Mysticism and mystery abound in The Strawberry Thief . In Morgane’s tattoo parlour, clients see reflections in mirrors of people who are not present or glimpse scenes from their past they would rather forget. The wind is a constant presence – and a constant refrain – signalling both change and the threat of danger: “This is what happens, I told myself, when you try to call the wind... it takes and it keeps on taking until everything is blown away.”
Where Chocolat is a novel about the conflict between church and the individual, between pleasure and denial, The Strawberry Thief focuses on the conflicts within families. Vianne holds the secret as to why her 16-year-old daughter, Rosette, cannot speak and is tormented by the absence of her older daughter, Anouk, now living with her boyfriend in Paris. Harris writes sensitively about the precarious bond between mothers and children: “All children are stolen, my mother says. We keep them close, as long as we can. But one day, the world will steal them back.”
While Harris creates an atmospheric landscape, the novel’s storytelling might have benefited from tighter pacing. Narcisse’s lengthy confession is stolen, retrieved and returned, a MacGuffin serving predominantly to spur the novel’s living characters into action. And while Reynaud’s torment about a childhood crime adds depth to his character, his self-flagellating the narrative down. However, Harris undeniably creates an evocative world in The Strawberry Thief, and in her explorations of magic, family, grief and recovery, it is sure to delight fans of Chocolat .

I wasn't sure about this book, I found it hard to get to grips with the story at first. Having enjoyed Joanne Harris's previous novels, I still liked her descriptions of places in the village and relationships and the magical elements she uses to enhance the story. I became confused with the rifts and jealousy in Narcisse's family!
However it wasn't until near the end of Narcisse's letter that I realised the story was about fears, burdens of guilt and absolution. I felt that Vianne's fear of change of losing her daughters was well written and believable. Perhaps this ending of part of her life will lead to a new story.
My book group read the Strawberry Thief and we all agreed to review it after receiving free copies. I read Chocolat many years ago and the descriptions and detail of the French countryside and all that happens in the life of the villagers is similar and enjoyable. However I didn’t feel that the story hung together as well and found some of the characters rather irritating, particularly Zozie whose back story and arrival and involvement in the village seemed rather contrived. There were thought provoking parent/ child relationships to think about as the story progressed, Vianne with both her daughters and also within Narcisse’s family. I’m not a big fan of magical realism and think this lessened my appreciation of what is a well written novel and a not a bad read.
