Chocolat book review6/22/2023 La Celeste Praline Chocolaterie Artisanale is not just any other chocolaterie. A warm wind for February, laden with the hot greasy scents of frying pancakes and sausages and powdery sweet waffles cooked on a hot plate right there by the roadside.Ĭhocolate and confectionery form a dominant thread on the canvass of this story. However, with a bit of faith, belief, magic and lots of chocolate (Vianne has a knack for guessing people’s favorite kind of chocolate), they don’t just make friends in Lansquenet but also find a home. Obviously, tensions run high and for a while, it feels that Vianne and Anouk are never going to find a home in this village with its lovely, compassionate, yet a little scared, residents. In a village that has, till now, let a simple and strictly by-the-book life, mostly thanks to the village priest Francis Reynaud who believes himself to be the village’s moral and religious compass, this causes an uproar. Chocolat is a novel about a young single mother, Vianne Rocher, who arrives in a tiny yet picturesque French village of Lansquenet on Tannes with her daughter Anouk and opens a chocolaterie just before Lent.
