About this listen

Trapped between his unfulfilling career, a dwindling grasp on reality and his childhood memories, Jay Mackintosh takes the snap decision to buy a derelict French farmhouse, running from London to the village of Lansquenet.

Returning to his childhood haunt, Jay is forced to confront a ghost from his past, a secretive widow and the terrible secret she's hiding.

Love Joanne’s Harris’s books but not her narration. I would download them all if they were narrated by a pro actor. Shame.

Great book

I was so pleased when I saw that there was an audible version of this book. I read it years ago and had previously looked for an audio version. it didn't disappoint! Harris creates such a warm atmosphere which makes me want to go back to France.

Wonderful to listen to an old favourite

Blackberry Wine was the first book I read by Joanne Harris. I loved it and I have been a fan of all her books ever since. I used to re-read this particular one quite often, especially in Spring. Joe reminds me in many (but not all) ways of my dad. He was a prize winning vegetable grower and wine maker. His name bestows many of the cups of the Gardening and Wine Making clubs in the village in Cambridgeshire where I grew up.

I was so happy to see that an unabridged version of the book was now available, I couldn't bear to listen to a partial retelling so I waited ... I'm so glad I did.

I feel like I've had a lovely holiday in France with characters who are all old friends who I have known and loved for years. Wonderful to live in their world again for a few days and experience all the magic. My favourite book, a marvellous, miraculous story, beautifully told.

Just as magical as the book

Truely evocative. Enthralled the senses with images captured , bottled and preserved by a brilliant words smith . Thank you so much.

Simply a beautiful tale

Charming and intriguing, written in lyrical prose and eloquently read. Ms Harris touches on many issues here without being heavy handed. Like Jane Austen, she lets the reader create the whole picture.
