I found it magical, compelling and thoroughly absorbing, a real page turner. I particularly loved the description, the imagery and the glamours.

Ruthless, seductive and intriguing, identity thief Zozie de l'Alba blows into the lives of Vianne and her daughter Anouk as they live peacefully on the cobbled streets of Montmartre. I read beforehand that the author waited until her own daughter was of a parallel age before she could write this novel.

What I learned from this book - how hard it must be to write from the first person viewpoint of three characters in one novel - the three witches. Oh and maybe a magic spell or two...]]>

review:
Having read Joanne Harris' best selling 'Chocolat' a few years ago and 'Sleep Pale Sister' by the same author I thought I'd try the 'Lollipop Shoes'.

I found it magical, compelling and thoroughly absorbing, a real page turner. I particularly loved the description, the imagery and the glamours.
