September Book #1

Book: Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Book in a sentence: A woman opens a chocolate shop in a town in France that is filled with secrets.

Best thing about this book: I bought this book back in 2005 while I was staying in London for a semester. I had seen the movie, of course, but wanted to read the book that it inspired. Needless to say they are vastly different. I love the way Ms. Harris moves back and forth from Vianne's point of view to the priest's. They are so vastly different, yet both think they are doing right. It's such an interesting juxtaposition. I found out that this is the first of three books about Vianne, so expect those to be coming soon!

Happy reading!
