description: &ldquo;Accomplished and delectable&hellip; Few readers will be able to resist.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>New York Times Book Review<br></i><br>&ldquo;Gourmand Harris&rsquo;s tale of sin and guilt embodies a fond familiarity with things French that will doubtless prove irresistible to many readers.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Publishers Weekly&#160;</i>(starred review)<br><br>&ldquo;&hellip;as sweet, rich and utterly satisfying as a fine truffle. Dieters beware: Ms. Harris&rsquo;s lush prose drips with mouth-watering descriptions of cocoa confections that could melt even the most resolute of wills.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Wall Street Journal<br></i><b><br></b>&ldquo;Vianne is a magnet for the town's misfits&hellip; Vianne gives them chocolate, but also nudges their lives in the right direction&hellip; Clearly, chocolate stands for human kindness and consolation. &hellip; Jaunty, hopeful and endearing.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Guardian</i>&#160;(UK)<br><br>&ldquo;You find yourself unable to stop until you&rsquo;ve finished feasting on this delightful, quirky, sensuous story.
