«Chocolate» is the romantic novel by Joanne Harris, published by Mondadori in paperback (375 pages, in Spanish).
Vianne Rocher and her daughter Anouk arrive in a French village and open a chocolate shop opposite the church. Her free spirit and her sweets arouse suspicion in the local priest, who sees her as a temptation, while the villagers discover in chocolate a comfort for their sorrows and a spur to their dreams.
This novel opens the «Chocolat» series. The Spanish version is translated by Roser Berdague Costa. The book was nominated for the Whitbread Award in 1999.
For readers of romantic novels and magical realism who enjoy stories with a French setting and chocolate as a unifying 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.
