Blackberry Wine

Sarah Sammis

Blackberry Wine is sickeningly sweet in its sentimentality but it does score points for having a unique narrator. The flashbacks to Pog Hill distract from the present day story. The book is tighter and more compelling a read when those chapters are skipped. When the story finally moves away from Jay's fond memories of how great Joe was and goes to the mystery of Jay's neighbor and her daughter Rosa the story hits its stride. I wish it had focused more on them and less on "Jackapple Joe."

Joanne Harris just wrote another amazing book. The characters and the story were amazing. Proving once again that she is a great story teller. Not my favorite of her books but was really good
