By Joanne Harris (306 pgs)
Interesting book told from the point of two different characters, Vianne the free-spirited chocolate seller and Reynaud the close-minded priest. Soon after Vianne's arrival in Lansquenet, the two characters begin a fierce but quiet war for the hearts of the townspeople. Vianne with her chocolate and small seeming magics and Reynaud with his church and seeming purity.
All the characters are amazingly drawn and the book is incredibly absorbing. Seeing the movie gives none of the twists and turns truly away.
