About this listen

It isn't often you receive a letter from the dead.

When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet, the village in south-west France where, eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop.

But Vianne is completely unprepared for what she finds there. Women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea, and there, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the square little tower of the church of Saint-Jerôme like a piece on a chessboard - slender, bone-white and crowned with a silver crescent moon - a minaret.

Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought big changes to the community. Father Reynaud, Vianne's erstwhile adversary, is now disgraced and under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him?

This is the third book by Joanne Harris in the series starting with Chocolat, then The Lollipop Shoes. I had read the first two a while ago before listening to the audiobooks, but this one I only have in audio form.

All three books are very good reads and listens to and are stand alone stories but

I think it helps to listen to them in order, like most series.

Another good story from Joanne Harris and very well read.

Great third book in the series

I have to confess that it took me a while to adjust to the different narrators after Juliet Stephenson’s reading of The Lollipop Shoes. One of the hazards of going back to back, I suppose! However, once I got over that . . . ! An enjoyable story and educational too! Enjoy.

Another great Chocolat story

Another magical tale from Joanne Harris but Rula Lenska was not a good choice of narrator for this book.

This is a wonderfully entertaining story, set somewhere in deepest France and built around the fascinating Vianne Rocher of Chocolat fame. Read by Rula Lenska and Gareth Armstrong, the many characters are really brought to life and made listening an absolute pleasure, I was sorry when the book came to an end. I felt that I would benefit from being able to sit with Vianne and pour out all my troubles over a steaming cup of her marvellous-sounding hot chocolate! A real treat, thankyou.

Beautiful descriptions, interesting characters and engaging and gripping storyline. I loved Chocolat and I much prefer this book to the second book in this series.

Classic Joanne Harris goodness
