Dorotea asked Joanne Harris:

I got my copy of "The strawberry Thief" yesterday! I'm so happy you decided to write another sequel and I can't wait to get started on it and to see Vianne and Annouk again! As a writer how do you know when to continue a story and when it would be better to leave it where it is?

Joanne Harris I rarely ever do know: I write the stories that come to me. Sometimes it takes years for me to know what my characters will do next: sometimes I never find out at all. And I know that, in stories as in life, here are as many beginnings as endings...
