Joanne Harris:
Hello, I am from Portugal and I really do love your books... I fall in love with the characters, with their manners, their way of thinking. My question is, how do you give them such dimension? Besides observing other people, which I also do, how can you create so many different ways of thinking, how can you teach us readers so many different lessons from each one of the characters?
