MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JOANNE HARRIS SENSATIONALLY RETURNS TO THE WORLD OF CHOCOLAT!

'Sensuous and thought-provoking, subtle and brilliant' Daily Telegraph on Chocolat

Secrets.

Chocolate.

A touch of magic...

On a warm July evening, Sylviane Rochas scatters her mother's ashes in New York and lets the changing wind blow her to the French seaside town of Marseille.

For the first time in her life, Vianne holds the future in her own hands. Charming her way into a job as a waitress in a local bistrot, she knows that she is not here to stay - when her child is born in a few months, she must be gone.

As she discovers the joy of cooking, making recipes her own with the addition of bittersweet chocolate spices, she realises that it possesses its own magic in this town full of secrets.

Yet Vianne will never forget her mother's warning: that there is danger in revealing the true desires of those around her - and she must flee these cobbled streets before it's too late...

Million-copy bestselling author Joanne Harris returns to the world of Chocolat with the long-awaited story of Vianne, which begins six years before she opens her scandalous chocolaterie in the small French village of Lansquenet.

Industry Reviews

Captivating, gripping, a tour de force of writing and thrilling emotion, Vianne will sweep you up into its magic and you won't be able to forget it - KATE WILLIAMS

Vianne is every bit as vivid, magical and delicious as I hoped it would be and a fitting prequel for a story that has become, like one of Vianne's chocolates, a much-loved favourite - RUTH HOGAN

Joanne Harris's long-awaited prequel to her immensely successful novel Chocolat is a feast of the senses full of intrigue, magic, love and, of course, chocolate. I devoured it with as much relish and joy as I devoured the original. Delicious! - SANTA MONTEFIORE
