![]() ![]() ![]() As Easter approaches the ritual of the Church is pitted against the indulgence of chocolate, and Father Reynaud and Vianne Rocher face an inevitable showdown. As tensions run high, the community is increasingly divided. This scandalises Francis Reynaud, the village priest, and his supporters. During the traditional season of fasting and self-denial she gently changes the lives of the villagers who visit her with a combination of sympathy, subversion and a little magic. Vianne has arrived to open a chocolaterie- La CĂ©leste Praline-which is on the square opposite the church. It tells the story of Vianne Rocher, a young single mother, who arrives in the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes at the beginning of Lent with her six-year-old daughter, Anouk. Chocolat is a 1999 novel by Joanne Harris. ![]()
