Joanne Harris is an Anglo-French author, whose books include fourteen novels, two cookbooks, and many short stories. Her work is extremely diverse, covering aspects of magical realism, suspense, historical fiction, mythology, and fantasy. 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. Her hobbies are listed in Who's Who as "mooching, lounging, strutting, strumming, priest-baiting, and quiet subversion." She also spends too much time on Twitter, plays flute and bass guitar in a band first formed when she was sixteen, and works from a shed in her garden at her home in Yorkshire.
"Harris's irreverent, narcissistic version of the Norse trickster
god continues. There's plenty of thoughtful entertainment here and
much promise for the third volume."-- "- Publishers Weekly"
"This book is so much fun to read. It's something like a dramatic
monologue blended with a farce blended with serious mythological
business. Harris cuts myth with the everyday, cuts it like a drug,
and the hit is hard."-- "- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog"
