«Chocolat» is the magic realism novel by Joanne Harris, published by Debolsillo in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In Lansquenet-sur-Tannes, a French village, the arrival of Vianne Rocher and her chocolate shop alters the lives of the neighbours. For the parish priest Francis Reynaud, the business embodies temptation and sin; for Vianne, it is a way of awakening the joy, senses and desires that each inhabitant keeps secret.
First instalment of the Chocolat series. The work was originally published in 1999; this Spanish-language edition is from 2004.
A read for book clubs and for those seeking contemporary fiction with fantastical elements.
Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris is a British author, best known for her 1999 novel Chocolat, which was adapted into a film of the same name. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, of a French mother and a British father, she was a teacher of French for 15 years and had published three novels during this period before the surprise success of Chocolat enabled her to write full time. Since then she has written over 30 books in a number of genres, including fantasy, psychological thriller, novellas, short stories and non-fiction. Harris' books often feature themes of women's empowerment, folklore, motherhood, community, outsiders and outcasts, and food.
