Fiona Lyon
Fiona Lyon asked Joanne Harris:

After the Girl with No Shadow, have just finished Peaches for Monsieur le Cure. I had difficulty keeping track of the character relationships, especially those...Perhaps a chart could be included at the back of the book for ready reference. Without giving Inez's relationship away..of course. Did you consider this? An uplifting read in this age of interacial mistrust. Thankyou.

Spasimira Katina
Spasimira Katina asked Joanne Harris:

Hello, I am from Bulgaria and I adore every book I read from you. The last book I read was "Five Quarters of the Orange", I was wondering, what exactly was Tomas Leibniz feeling towards Framboise ? Was it a brotherly love, or maybe he just saw her more special then her borther and sister, or he was just using her for information ? Thank you!
