Un dia llega al pueblo Vianne, una mujer cargada de sentido del humor... y una prodigiosa chocolatera. Ante la colera del sacerdote, los vecinos sucumben a los dulces que Vianne vende en su establecimiento, La Celeste Praline. Y es que sus chocolates curan los males del alma, alivian de las tensiones y llevan a olvidar todas las verguenzas e inhibiciones.
In tiny Lansquenet, where nothing much has changed in a hundred years, beautiful newcomer Vianne Rocher and her exquisite chocolate shop arrive and instantly begin to play havoc with Lenten vows. Each box of luscious bonbons comes with a free gift: Vianne's uncanny perception of its buyer's private discontents and a clever, caring cure for them. Is she a witch? Soon the parish no longer cares, as it abandons itself to temptation, happiness, and a dramatic face-off between Easter solemnity and the pagan gaiety of a chocolate festival. Chocolat's every page offers a description of chocolate to melt in the mouths of chocoholics, francophiles, armchair gourmets, cookbook readers, and lovers of passion everywhere. It's a must for anyone who craves an escapist read, and is a bewitching gift for any holiday.« less
