![]() ![]() One of them is an elderly Latin Master at a grammar school in the north of England, and as you read, you realise the author has got the tone and feel of this character down pat. Harris splits the book into two, with two narrators taking the story along. This is Harris at her best in creating an atmosphere of impending doom, not much of the capricious charm of A Cat, a Hat and a Piece of String or Peaches for Monsieur le Cure here. This one goes one better: it is engrossing, gripping, very, very dark. What`s more, even the most whimsical of her stories had the dark undertow, very much seen and felt by the reader, running through them. Harris had me at Chocolat, years and years ago and though I`ve not always loved her other books in the same way, they always made for an engrossing read. This is the third in the author`s psychological thrillers but it is a standalone story, and that`s how I read it. ![]() Book review: Different Class by Joanne HarrisÄifferent Class, Joanne Harris. ![]()
