JOANNE HARRIS: Visit The Moonlight Market with the Yorkshire author

Born in Barnsley to an English father and a French mother, Joanne spoke only French until she started school. Both her parents taught French at Barnsley Girls’ High School. After studying modern and mediaeval languages at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and training at Sheffield University, she, too, became a teacher. She wrote a couple of novels while teaching before Chocolat, which went on to sell more than a million copies, following the success of the film version of the same name starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp.

Listen to her discuss her writing, including her latest book, The Moonlight Market, which will be available to buy at the event!
