«Chocolate» is the contemporary fiction novel by Joanne Harris, published by Grijalbo in hardback (373 pages, in Spanish).
Vianne Rocher and her daughter Anouk arrive in the village of Lansquenet and open a chocolate shop opposite the church. Vianne senses her neighbours' desires, and her sweets spark confessions and change. The priest Francis Reynaud sees her as a challenge to his authority; the clash between them brings the community's secrets, grudges and longings to light.
First novel in the «Chocolat» series by Joanne Harris; Spanish translation by Roser Berdagué Costa.
For readers of contemporary fiction and magical realism who enjoy village stories and gastronomy as a guiding thread.
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.
