Critiques en avant-premièreJoanne Harris

Hailed as an "irresistible confection" (Entertainment Weekly), "as sweet, rich and utterly satisfying as a fine truffle" (Wall Street Journal), and "an amazement of riches" (New York Times), Chocolat melted the hearts of critics and readers everywhere. Now, Joanne Harris returns with an exquisite treate that continues the story begun in her beloved bestseller. After working her irresistible magic among the villagers of Lansquenet-sour-Tannes, Vianne Rocher and her daughter Anouk left the small French village for the crowded environs of Paris. There, cloaked in her new identity as a widow named Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street -- and hopes to start a new life freed from the ghosts of her past. Her new home above the chocolate shop offers peace and anonymity; no red sachets hang by the door and the winds of change are calm. But soon the weathervane turns . . . and into their lives blows Zozie de l'Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes, and everything begins to change. Zozie seems to bring with her the fresh air Yanne's life needs. But her friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie has plans that will shatter Yanne's world. With everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice: flee, as she has done so many times before, or stand and confront her most dangerous enemy . . .
