Product Description

Review

‘To those that have feasted on Joanne Harris’s delightful novel Chocolat, the title of this collection of short stories should give ample hint as to their themes…All of these modern morality tales are well observed and tastily enjoyable’ The Times

‘This stunning collection of short stories (is) about modern relationships – and modern women. Every twist and turn, nuance and delicacy of the mating game is portrayed…Throughout, Gregory’s grasp of the female psyche never errs…It is a significant accomplishment’ Daily Mail

Product Description

A collection of short stories from one of our most popular novelists – the perfect gift.

A rich and wonderful selection of short stories. A TV chef who specialises in outrageous cakes tempts a monk who bakes bread for his brothers; a surprise visitor invites mayhem into the perfect minimalist flat in the season of good will; a woman explains her unique view of straying husbands; straying husbands encounter a variety of effective responses. Just some of the delicacies on offer in this sumptuous box of delights…

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight, 27 Feb 2005

A. Loftus - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bread and Chocolate (Paperback)

I couldn't disagree more with the previous review. Having enjoyed many of Philippa Gregory's novels, I was interested to see how her short stories would compare, and I must say I found them a delight to read. From the sweet, simple 'Wave Machine', to the darker tones of 'The Magic Box', I was instantly swept along by the author's subtle, artistic prose. I have always had a high opinion of Philippa Gregory's work and this book is yet more proof to me of why that is so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you could want in a collection of short stories, 17 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bread and Chocolate (Audio Cassette)

Reading a book of short stories is rather like listening to a music CD and in this case a CD in which you like all the tracks - a rarity.

The stories are well written and incisive, funny, touching, thought provoking and sometimes chilling. Philippa Gregory manages to elicit a gamut of emotions in the reader. The stories rely on her characterisation, which makes each one believable. Betrayal appears in more than one story. Bread and Chocolate the title story is of this time, starting in a Monastery it moves to a TV studio and made me laugh out loud. Conjuring Trick really conjures up a chilling tale, while the Wave Machine is a study in innocence.

However, there was one story that I didn't read purely because it was historical, set in medieval times, and I skipped it just like a track that jars on a CD. Philipa Gregory writes historical novels (none of which I read) so I assume that's why she slipped it in. However, others will probably like it and its just a personal picky preference of mine not to!

All in all, this collection makes an excellent read and a perfect Christmas present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another winner., 21 Nov 2010

ratpak4 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bread and Chocolate (Paperback)

Having read about 98% of Philippa Gregory's work I saved this one to enjoy on a long-haul flight. It proved a wise decision as it allowed for the breaks in concentration that this situation enforces upon you. The journey passed very enjoyably and the book was very easy to keep returning to due to the fact that it is short stories.

Yet another winner from this superb authoress.
