When beautiful, unmarried Vianne Rocher sweeps into the pinched
little French town of Lansquenet on the heels of the carnival and
opens a gem of a chocolate shop across the square from the church,
she begins to wreak havoc with the town's Lenten vows. Her uncanny
ability to perceive her customer's private discontents and
alleviate them with just the right confection coaxes the villagers
to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness, but enrages Pere
Reynaud, the local priest. Certain only a witch could stir such
sinful indulgence and devise such clever cures, Reynaud pits
himself against Vianne and vows to block the chocolate festival she
plans for Easter Sunday, and to run her out of town forever. Witch
or not (she'll never tell), Vianne soon sparks a dramatic
confrontation between those who prefer the cold comforts of the
church and those who revel in their newly discovered taste for
pleasure.
Hailed as "an amazement of riches few readers will be able to
resist" by The New York Times Book Review, Chocolat is a timeless
and enchanting story about temptation, pleasure, and what a
complete waste of time it is to deny yourself anything.
