Movie tie-in.
Third copy purchased yesterday from Croydon Salvos for release.
From back of book:
"When an exotic stranger, Vianne Rocher, arrives in the French village of Lansquenet and opens a chocolate boutique directly opposite the church, Father Reynaud identifies her as a serious danger to his flock - especially as it is the beginning of Lent, the traditional season of self-denial. War is declared as the priest denounces the newcomer's wares as the ultimate sin.
Suddenly Vianne's shop-cum-cafe means that there is somewhere for secrets to be whispered, grievances to be aired, dreams to be tested. But Vianne's plans for an Easter Chocolate Festival divide the whole community in a conflict that escalates into a 'Church or Chocolate' battle. As mouths water in anticipation, can the solemnity of the Church compare with the pagan passion of a chocolate eclair?"
FYI: Chocolat - IMDB.
Directed by Lasse Hallström, starring Juliette Binoche, Judi Dench, Alfred Molina and Carrie-Anne Moss.
A woman and her daughter open a chocolate shop in a small French village that shakes up the rigid morality of the community.
