Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris, MBE (born 3 July 1964) is an English author who began writing at an early age. Her first novel, The Evil Seed, was published in 1989, with only limited success. Her second novel, Sleep, Pale Sister, shows the way in which her style developed from horror-pastiche to literary ghost story. In 1999 her third novel, Chocolat, a darkly magical modern folk-tale, thematically based on food and set in the Gers region of France, reached No. 1 in the Sunday Times bestseller list. The book won the Creative Freedom Award in 1999 and was shortlisted for the 1999 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award.
