«Chocolat» is the contemporary fiction novel by Joanne Harris, published by Quaderns Crema in paperback (384 pages, in Catalan).
Vianne Rocher arrives in Lansquenet, a French village, and opens a chocolate shop across from the church. Her presence disrupts local life and clashes with Father Reynaud, who sees her as a threat during Lent. Between sensuality and vitality, the novel pits tradition against change and celebrates life's small pleasures.
Published in 2001, with a Catalan translation by Maria Roura Mir (original in English). Part of the Biblioteca Mínima collection (no. 95), first installment of the Chocolat series.
For readers of contemporary fiction and magical realism, and for book clubs seeking a story with a French rural setting.
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.
