Malbry (original) (raw)
Malbry ("pronounced "Mawbry") is the fictional village that serves as the setting for Joanne Harris' Yorkshire-based thrillers, notably [1], Gentlemen and Players[2] and Different Class [3]. It is also the setting for a number of Harris' short stories. It is a close community, rife with conflicting factions. Outsiders are not welcome, and those who do not fit in are the subject of gossip and speculation.
