English Summary/英文概要: A welcome return to the village in rural France that was the setting for Joanne Harris’s remarkable and much-loved number one bestseller Chocolat
It isn’t often you receive a letter from the dead.
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet, the village in which eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop.
But returning to her old home, Vianne is completely unprepared for what she is to find there. Women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea - and there, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the church, a minaret.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 还记得乔安娜•哈里斯脍炙人口的畅销小说《浓情巧克力》吗?那个发生在法国乡村小镇的美丽童话。在《治愈系先生的桃子》这部哈里斯的新作中,她将带领我们感受是另一种迥异的风格--有关于极为罕见的死亡来信。
薇安妮•罗谢在一座墓碑前收到了一封神秘的来信,驱使着她重新回到她自己在八年前曾开过一家巧克力甜品店的小镇---兰斯克内特。
然而这一次的旧地重游却彻底颠覆了薇安妮的记忆:小镇上的妇女们都蒙上了黑纱,空气中到处弥漫着香料与薄荷茶的气味,而在坦尼斯河的对岸则新矗立起了一座教堂---一座神秘的光塔。(DC)

“[Harris’] characteristic love affair with texture – scents, smells and sounds – immerses the reader in a bath of seductive imagery in a brave and grippingly confected story.” Sunday Times
“Like CHOCOLAT, this book is a feast for the senses. Every page of the book is steeped in scents, colours and tastes, without ever tipping into the pretentious or showy. The writing is seductive and engaging throughout; and the magic, too, is intrinsic without ever being soppy or embarrassing... a wonderful return to form for Harris.” Literary Review
“Expertly crafted, typically mouthwatering” Daily Mail
“An enchanting read, ripe for summer picking” France Magazine
“A wide-ranging, powerful and very readable novel. I loved it” Viv Groskop, Red Magazine
“A delightful jumble of the sensuous sights, sounds and smells the author describes so well” Glamour
“Fasting and feasting, magic and mysticism are once again at the heart of this author’s storytelling sorcery” The Lady

“It’s been a long time coming, but this sequel to the best-selling CHOCOLAT has been well-worth the wait” Bella Magazine
“Joanne Harris again returns to Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, setting for CHOCOLAT, and again captivates the reader with memorable descriptions and unforgettable characters” Choice Magazine
