We are delighted to be joined by the extraordinarily talented Joanne Harris - bestselling author of Chocolat - as we celebrate the publication of her new novel of love, loss, mystery and dementia.
A FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT
As well as hearing about Joanne's new, chilling winter ghost story, we'll discover the secrets behind all her writing and delve into the legendary world of Chocolat, her 1999 novel which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film, starring Juliette Binoche.
The event will include a book signing.
Joanne Harris (OBE, FRSL) is the author of twenty novels, three cookbooks, many short stories and even the libretti for two short operas!
She was born in Barnsley, to a French mother and English father, and her books which she writes from a shed in her garden in a little wood in Yorkshire, are now published in over 50 countries.
Joanne is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, an honorary Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge, was Chair of the Society of Authors between 2020 and 2024, and in 2022 was awarded an OBE by the Queen.
