A wickedly delicious confection, mouth-watering and alluring. A woman of mysterious origins arrives with her daughter in a small, tightly knit, southern French village. She opens a chocolate shop, selling 'dreams, small comforts, sweet harmless temptations', to the fury of the village priest and his acolytes, who consider her wares 'Sodom and Gomorrah through a straw'. Soon her influence begins to percolate far beyond hot chocolate and fancy ribbons...

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I'm sending this to madmadge for her birthday.
I couldn't send this without sending chocolate too - could I?!? :oD

Happy Birthday madmadge, hope your day is full of wonderful surprises.

The second book in the parcel I really shouldn't have opened till Thursday! :0( All this and chocolate too! What a lucky girl I am. Thank you so much Mallary. x x x

I didn't like to say before but I have already read this book and loved it! It's time for it to move on because I'm thinning out my bookshelves in anticipation of moving in the near future. Hope it finds a good home.
