Lots of flavor!

Girl Without A Shadow
Joanne Harris

If you are a fan of "Chocolat"...book...movie...good chance this book will at least hold interest for you, in-as-much as it is promoted as a sequel to the mysterious and whimsical doings of the wind-tossed mom and daughter pair in the popular confectionaire tale. Landing in Paris, the sequel promises a darker...deeper...and further revealed character of Vianne Rocher and her pre-adolescent daughter. Beginning without alot of grab and hold...the read is less like a rollercaoster...and more like a liesurely bicycle on cobblestone journey through French cuisine, culture, and of course...(and my particular interst)... CHOCOLATE !!!!...
