Chocolat

by Joanne Harris
Vianne Rocher and her 6-year-old daughter, Anouk, arrive in the small village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes--"a blip on the fast road between Toulouse and Bourdeaux"--in February, during the carnival. Three days later, Vianne opens a luxuriant chocolate shop crammed with the most tempting of confections and offering a mouth-watering variety of hot chocolate drinks. It's Lent, the shop is opposite the church and open on Sundays, and Francis Reynaud, the austere parish priest, is livid.

  1. Jenn are you going to be there for the 18th of June? I am working a ton lately but I will try and get that day off of work. I would love to come and see you all again.

  2. Yes, I plan to stop by. We are leaving the following morning. What good timing, eh? You are, actually, the last group of people I'd like to see and say good-bye too!

    I know Arlene and Christa are wondering if you still want to present the book...
