Summary
When an exotic stranger, Vianne Rocher, arrives in the French village of Lansquenet and opens a chocolate boutique directly opposite the church, Father Reynaud denounces her as a serious moral danger to his flock - especially as it is the beginning of Lent, the traditional season of self-denial.
As passions flare and the conflict escalates, the whole community takes sides. Can the solemnity of the church compare with the sinful pleasure of a chocolate truffle?

Delicious!
This book is a wonderful, multi-layered masterpiece. The author leads you into the narrow streets of the village and into the very heart of its inhabitants. Her internal dialogue, and that of her nemisis move the story along with a natural and appealing grace. The film was great, the book is greater.

Great read
This was a beautifully read story which captivated my attention from start to finish. I only wish it had been a longer book.

Lovely listen, I’d forgotten how good this book is
I read this book years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m now visually impaired and so often listen to books rather than read them.
It was wonderful to listen to the book read by the author. The story was just as good as I remembered, better actually than when I read it as I could relax and just listen to the beautiful tale as it was meant to be told.
Brilliant!

Brilliant book
I am not sure which is better. Joanne reading the book or the book itself.

Boring
Possibly the most boring start to a book ever. Gave up after first chapter. Couldn't bear it.

Chocolate!
The books it’s self, is fairly boring and a basic story. Where one is able to look ahead and work out what is going to happen. Yet a good book for a cold winters night. It is also not shortened for anyone who wondered whether it was :)

Full of wonder
One of my favourite books quite magical in it’s telling of how a town can be healed if it’s community come together
