Recensione:
"Everything about her style is aerodynamic...Harris writes well, and charming, cinema-friendly images and cinematic mysteries abound...stylish and economical." (SUNDAY TIMES)
"Coastliners is another triumph for Joanne Harris who shows that her powerful imagery is not exclusive to food and uses the coastline, sea and beaches to heighten the senses, drawing the reader further in with each incoming tide. A must-read." (PUNCH)
"Harris is a writer of tremendous charm, who creates a winning blend of fairy-tale morality and gritty realism." (INDEPENDENT)
"Harris' knowledge of France is completely authentic, and present in the detail. For this book she has studied the sea, the island community, the nautical detail, meticulously and it shows. It gives the novel interest and weight." (SCOTSMAN)

Summary: When Grosjean's estranged daughter Mado returns to Le Devin, a tiny island caught like a crab in the shallow seas of northern France, she brings with her an air of energy and change that ruffles the crusty local fisherman. Divided squarely into two warring communities, the people from La Houssiniere on the near side and those from Les Salants on the far side, the islanders' traditional feuds and superstitions persist. Inspired by the island Joanne Harris used to visit as a child, good battles against evil in this tale of bitter poetry that proves no man is ever an island. Rich with coastal imagery and smells, its twists and turns are salty and powerful, and utterly compelling. Subjects: Islands -- Island people -- France -- Brittany -- Fiction.
