Synopsis

THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING CHOCOLAT SERIES

'Expertly crafted, typically mouthwatering' DAILY MAIL

When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she allows the wind to blow her back to the village in south-west France where, eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop. But Lansquenet is different now: women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea, and, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the church: a minaret.

Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought change. Father Reynaud, Vianne's erstwhile adversary, is disgraced and under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him now?

'A brave and grippingly confected story' SUNDAY TIMES

'Like Chocolat, this book is a feast for the senses. Every page is steeped in scents, colours and tastes' LITERARY REVIEW

'Prepare to be transported by Joanne Harris as she revisits the characters and setting of her first bestseller, Chocolat' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
