Secure Your Copy Il Giardino Delle Pesche E Delle Rose Conceived By Joanne Harris Accessible As Paper Copy

giardino delle pesche e delle rose" rappresenta il seguito di "Chocolat", il romanzo di Joanne Harris da cui è stato tratto l'omonimo film di successo, Vianne Rocher adesso vive a Parigi, Quando il vento inizia a soffiare Vianne percepisce che qualcosa sta per accadere, Un giorno, infatti, riceve una lettera inaspettata, È da parte di Armande, sua amica di vecchia data, la quale la invita a tornare a Lansquenet, il piccolo villaggio nel sud ovest della Francia dove tutto è iniziato, nella cioccolateria che aveva aperto otto anni prima.
Armande ora è morta, e nella lettera scrive all'amica che qualcuno ha bisogno del suo aiuto, A Lansquenet molte cose sono cambiate, Adesso le concerie al di là del fiume sono abitate da numerosi musulmani e negli ultimi tempi, tra le due comunità che abitano nel villaggio, le relazioni si sono inacidite.
L'opinione pubblica accusa Francis Reynaud di aver appiccato il fuoco al piccolo negozio dove una volta Vianne vendeva cioccolata, adesso divenuta proprietà di persone appartenenti alla comunità musulmana, Per ripristinare l'armonia, Vianne conosce una ricetta speciale, "Il giardino delle pesche e delle rose" è un'altra piacevole storia che Joanne Harris consegna ai suoi lettori, Guys I'm throwing a chocolate party! All invited, Only two rules. You should bring a fictional character as a date and that shouldn't be Sirius, He's mine!
I'll make my superduper brownies, Candy supply is from Wonka from Chocolate factory, Vianne is making her special chocolates, Missis Weasley is cooking. I'll try to negotiate with Weasley's Wizard Wheezes for some fun stuff, but don't promise anything, I almost wanted to have Peeves, but then thought better of it I don't want all of you to go home covered in chocolate as fondu fruits,

Why I was here Oh yeah, Peaches for Monsieur Le Curé was wonderful, I almost cried. Second favourite from series after first one, La Harris confeziona un romanzo carino, che si fa leggere con piacere in cui riporta in scena Vianne Rocher, la proprietaria della cioccolateria di Chocolat, e il piccolo paese di Lansquenet con i suoi abitanti.

È una lettura scorrevole, da relax, anche se cerca di farsi "romanzo sociale" nel racconto delle difficoltà tra la comunità cattolica e quella mussulmana e della condizione della donna.
Pur avendolo trovato complessivamente discreto, nel trattare queste tematiche mi sembra un po' semplicistico e semplificate come se uno scartoccino di cioccolatini potesse garantire la pace nel mondo, Magari! Ma non ancora purtroppo, I'm a little mystified by this series, One of these books doesn't belong with the others, Book Two, sitelinkThe Girl with No Shadow was so different in tone and structure that it seems like I took a detour reading it, Book Three, sitelinkPeaches for Monsieur le Curé brought me back to the things I loved so much about Chocolat the structure, the themes, even the feel, Once again, the magic was understated, It was almost invisible. Getting reacquainted with the

setting and characters were like returning home,

I perceive Chocolat to have been more about inner conflict as it relates to intolerance and nonacceptance, This sequel delves more into the external conflict of differing cultures, religions, and customs as it affects the community as a whole, What happens, then, when individuals take that conflict to a place of fanaticism and obsession

I really struggled with whether or not to give thisorstars.
I decided that the few holes were trivial in comparison to the emotional impact this story had on me, Siamo bel lontani da Chocolat, benché la Harris torni ad ambientare questo romanzo a Lansquenet, Va persa tutta la leggerezza, la lieve ironia, il gradevole equilibrio che esisteva tra reale e irreale,
L'aggancio, che mi verrebbe quasi da chiamare parodia, con situazioni tristemente attuali, è reso in maniera del tutto priva di credibilità, il che finisce per inficiare l'insieme, senza peraltro apportare in cambio alcuna seria e utile considerazione sui conflitti culturali.

Se Vianne Rocher, in Chocolat, poteva con naturalezza, assumere e apparire nella duplice veste di strega o di semplice persona di buon senso, a seconda di come la volesse considerare il lettore, qui risulta poco credibile in entrambi i casi.
Tutta la grazia maliziosa che aveva si perde in un mare di stupidaggini, Il suo personaggio, letteralmente, svapora e si dissolve in una figura improbabile e francamente noiosa,
Questo seguito è stata una pessima idea, madame Harris, I'll admit, I love Joanne Harris, I love Vianne Rocher, Anouk and Roux! Of course, Roux, This was a five star read as soon as I heard about it, And it doesn't disappoint, for the most part,

Vianne gets a letter from a dead Armande, asking her to get back to Lansquenet, For a visit she says, Vianne wants to go very much, but Roux is strangely reluctant, So she goes with her two daughters, unprepared to see the changes that Lansquenet has gone through during her absence, There are now Muslims in Les Marauds, and they don't get along with folks from Lansquenet, Their girl children wear forbidding niqabs, and they seem to be in the sway of a charismatic woman called Inès Bencharki, What's more, Vianne's old nemesis Francis Reynaud has trouble of his own, He's been dismissed from the curate pending an inquiry about a fire set to Inès' school which is Vianne's old chocolaterie, His successor is a young man with too many teeth and a penchant for PowerPoint, He needs Vianne's help very badly, So she stays.

Other reviews have called this a brave book, and I agree, Harris treads a very fine line her heroine is obviously on the side of mysticism and magic, and the people she is helping are both traditionalists of different religions.
She argues for both liberalism and traditionalism, and I think the idea is for a middle ground, Pere Renaud's mirror image in Les Marauds old Mahjoubi, is an eccentric who argues against niqab for women and reads Victor Hugo in spare time, His successor, his son Saïd, is more like the Curé, strict and forbidding, Obviously, old Mahjoubi is the one who gets our sympathy on that end, Typically, Harris also has rather sordid themes of child molestation and rape along with the main theme of tolerance,

I loved the new characters, Since Armande is dead, Harris cleverly brings in another similar old lady called Omi, She's very old, cares two hoots for the fasting of Ramadan, and is always ready with a coconut macaroon, And I loved the new kids I loved Rosette, Vianne's child with Roux, who hardly talks but is a little bundle of energy, There's Pilou Joséphine's son, who is awesome! There is Du'a, Inès' daughter, who is nothing like her mother, And there is Maya, who becomes Rosette's close friend, There are amusing situations involving a dog, a nervous dog that bites and barks his head off for apparently no reason, a cat who lives in three homes and has four owners and is called Otto, Tati, Hazrat and Sputnik respectively.
For a town the size of Lansquenet, you'd think there would be more cats, And I loved Monsieur le Curé, He was the character with the best story arc, he was wonderful,

So what was my problem with this

Nothing much happens for a good chunk of the story, It's understandable, there are so many new characters to introduce, But still. It takes a while for the story to get going,

Harris has heavy themes, but the end is a bandaid solution applied to the whole mess, The villain ruins lives of people who are still living and paying for it, and yet, at the end they celebrate with a huge party What about Du'a She was threatened by Karim, put on fire, saved by Inès and Roux, Inès dying at the end.
Would she not be traumatized What about Alyssa Karim's sisterinlaw who was raped by him What about Sonia She married Karim and is pregnant with his child What about Saïd Karim made a fool of him and raped his daughter.
None of this is addressed at all, Nope, there has to be a party,

The old characters, Anouk was just there. Her place has been taken over by Rosette, Which is fine, but we are treated to a number of her thoughts without resolution, Roux. What was the point He could not have been there at all, For three quarters of the book he's absent with Vianne suspecting him to be the father of Joséphine's child, Note that she never bothers to ask, And then she knows he's not, and he comes back, Vianne still doesn't trust him, We also have no idea what he's thinking, For all the pages wasted on whether he was or was not involved with Joséphine, he's a very trivial character, Joséphine. She's slinks around Vianne, because she thinks she has disappointed her by having Paul's son, And there's some unresolved bull between her and Roux, and her and wait for it Reynaud, Nope, it's not resolved. Instead, an easy way out Paul sees the light when he's told he's Pilou's papa, Uhhuh.

Those are nothing compared to Vianne, She gets everything wrong. And she's still helping somehow, She pretends to know everything, and to anyone who calls her out, she says she doesn't pretend to know everything, Was she this arrogant in Chocolat I don't remember, She goes on and on about how she couldn't trust Roux, and even if finds out she can trust Roux, she cannot trust him, Because, he's apparently not hers to keep, Right Vianne, did you think he's an object to own all this time She has the restless need to run away with the wind, but she says it's Roux who can't settle.
Roux, who stayed in Lansquenet for four years more than her, Roux, who is a gypsy, but has settled with her in the Seine in Paris for four more, Does she stay in Lansquenet in the end Her kids want her to stay, But, I'm pretty sure she's too selfish for that, This go around I hated Vianne, She remained unchanged in the eight years that she has been away, She's learned nothing. Going where the wind blows is endearing for only so long,

Stillfor nostalgia and Monsieur le Curé, .
