Chocolat
Book • 1999
In the small French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, Vianne Rocher, a chocolate-maker and single mother, arrives with her six-year-old daughter Anouk at the beginning of Lent.
Her exquisite chocolate shop, La Céleste Praline, opposite the church, instantly polarizes the villagers.
Vianne's presence and her magical chocolates begin to resolve old feuds, help family disputes, and bring happiness to the community.
However, her arrival also sparks conflict with the local priest, Francis Reynaud, who sees her as a threat to the village's traditional values.
The story unfolds with a dramatic face-off between Easter solemnity and the pagan gaiety of a chocolate festival, ultimately leading to a transformation in the lives of the villagers and Vianne herself.
