Vianne Rocher, a free and singular woman, arrives with her daughter in the French village of Lansquenet-sur-Tannes and opens a chocolate shop. Her sweets awaken the hidden desires and joy of life of the neighbors, but the priest Francis Reynaud sees in it an invitation to temptation and sin.
The novel, originally published in 1999, is the first installment of the «Chocolat» series; this Spanish edition appeared in 2003.
For readers of contemporary romance and magical realism who enjoy stories set in small French villages.
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.
