Vianne

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 carry 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 at a local bistrot, she knows she won’t stay for long. When her child is born in a few months, she must disappear.

As she discovers the joy of cooking—and infuses her recipes with bittersweet chocolate and spices—she realizes her craft holds a unique kind of magic in this town full of secrets.

But Vianne will never forget her mother’s warning: there is danger in uncovering 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—set six years before she opens her scandalous chocolaterie in the small French village of Lansquenet.
