Product Description

'Who died?' I said. 'Or is it a secret?'

'My mother, Vianne Rocher.'

Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her daughters, Rosette and Annie, live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop. Nothing unusual marks them out; no red sachets hang by the door. The wind has stopped – at least for a while. Then into their lives blows Zozie de l’Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes, and everything begins to change….

But this new friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie de l’Alba has plans of her own – plans that will shake their world to pieces. And with everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice; to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy…..

Herself.

As a sequel to the book Chocolat, this book held its weight with the original. The book is told in the view of the three main characters: Vianne, Anouk and Zozie. The characters each have their own appeal and somehow you would also connect with the villain. I enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it to all Chocolat / Joanne Harris fans. Out of all the books from this author, I would probably rate this as my 2nd favorite with Chocolat being the first and Five quarters of the Orange as 3rd.
