About This Book
Greeted as "an amazement of riches . . . few readers will be able to resist" by
The New York Times, Chocolat is an enchanting novel about temptation, pleasure,
and the ultimate folly of self-denial. The town of Lansquenet, solemnly
preparing for Lent, is set astir when Vianne Rocher and her spirited daughter
arrive on the heels of the carnival and open a chocolate shop across the square
from the church. Vianne's uncanny ability to perceive her customers' private
discontents and alleviate them with just the right chocolate treats quickly
charms the villagers--and enrages Pere Reynaud, the conservative local priest.
Certain that only a witch could create such magical cures, Reynaud vows to block
the chocolate festival Vianne plans for Easter Sunday and to run her out of town
forever. Witch or not (she'll never tell), Vianne soon sparks a dramatic
confrontation between those who prefer the cold comforts of the church and those
who revel in their newly discovered taste for pleasure.
"Delectable . . . delicious"-- (USA Today)
"Part fairy tale, part morality tale, laden with high farce and tongue-in-cheek
humor . . . suffused with lush detail and finely drawn interesting
characters."-- Philadelphia Inquirer
"Harris writes with verve and charm . . . if Colette and Hawthorne had
collaborated, the result might have been this serious delight."-- The New Yorker
The perfect treat for Valentine's Day and Easter
