«Chocolat» is the novel by Joanne Harris, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
In the French village of Lansquenet, the arrival of Vianne Rocher, a charismatic chocolatier, and her daughter Anouk disrupts local routine. Her shop, opposite the church, awakens hidden emotions and desires among the neighbors. Father Reynaud, fearing for his authority, opposes her influence: a confrontation emerges between tradition and freedom, repression and indulgence.

For lovers of contemporary fiction, magical realism and stories set in France with romance and gastronomy as a backdrop.
Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris is a British author, best known for her 1999 novel Chocolat, which was adapted into a film of the same name. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, of a French mother and a British father, she was a teacher of French for 15 years and had published three novels during this period before the surprise success of Chocolat enabled her to write full time. Since then she has written over 30 books in a number of genres, including fantasy, psychological thriller, novellas, short stories and non-fiction. Harris' books often feature themes of women's empowerment, folklore, motherhood, community, outsiders and outcasts, and food.
