Actually, I think that in BEB there was no story to speak of, only inventions for the sake of them, and here there could well have been, should the narration be more straightforward and not so struggling for being “intriguing”, even if that means improbable character or plot development.

Good to remember that every paradise has a snake somewhere in the lovely green grass. Behind all of these tensions stands the figure of Inès Bencharki. Treasure this book as it is another gem.

She moves into Armande's old house, now owned by Luc Clairmont, and begins to get to know the Moroccan community. A recurrent theme of Harris', the book describes aspects of cultural and religious intolerance within both the Muslim and the Catholic communities, whilst demonstrating how similar attitudes are in both camps.As in many of Harris' books, the main characters often have dark secrets to hide.

Acht Jahre sind vergangen, seit Vianne Rocher Lansquenet verlassen hat. Not quite up to the magic of "Chocolat," but well worth reading Vianne and Roux are living in a houseboat in Paris with her two children when she receives a letter from someone who died 5 years ago. She is only on holiday, but continues to be the town's savior and busybody. Especially endearing amongst her characters has been Vianne Rocher, the central figure in "Chocolat," in the subsequent follow-up novel in Paris, and now in this new book that returns Vianne to the small village of Lansquenet in a textured social commentary that treats both the cycles of life and the tensions of Muslim-villager interaction.This third book in the Chocolat series was truly rewarding! Within an intriguing plot is woven a bit of magic, subtle moral commentary, and an interesting view of the many conflicting aspects of society. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.
