Vianne Rocher is back but not as we know her. Now living as Yanne in montmarte peacefully but not as happy as she thought she would be in their new chocolate shop. She is laying low, the wind of change his stopped blowing and nothing unusual happens until a women with lollipop shoes arrives and things begin to change. The friendship that transpires is not maybe all it seems and the women with the lollipop shoes isn’t as friendly and helpful as she first seems to be. I loved this follow up to chocolat, the characters are well developed the sights, sounds and smells are as evocative as ever and i really cared about the characters, willing them all on and living the story with them. I just wish the chocolate shop was on my street! I can’t wait to read the next one in this series.
