Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Chocolate, temptation and rebellion transform a village

Good Condition – noticeable cover, spine and edge wear with page-edge tanning.

When Vianne Rocher arrives in the French village of Lansquenet with her daughter and opens a chocolate shop opposite the church, Father Reynaud sees a direct challenge to his authority, especially during the self-denial of Lent. Soon the chocolaterie becomes a place where secrets are whispered, grievances aired and long-suppressed desires tested. Vianne’s plans for an Easter chocolate festival divide the community and bring its tensions into the open. Sensuous, witty and touched with magic, Chocolat explores pleasure, intolerance and the courage required to choose a life of one’s own.
