Chocolat harris5/9/2023 Rich, clever and mischievous, this is a triumphant read. As mouths water in anticipation, can the solemnity of the Church compare with the pagan passion of a chocolate eclair?For the first time here is a novel in which chocolate enjoys its true importance, emerging as a moral issue, as an agent of transformation – as well as a pleasure bordering on obsession.

Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. War is declared as the priest denounces the newcomer's wares as instruments of murder.Suddenly Vianne's shop-cum-cafe means that there is somewhere for secrets to be whispered, grievances to be aired, dreams to be tested.
