Joanne Harris, VIANNE: A Novel

Zibby interviews million-copy bestselling author Joanne Harris, who has returned to the world of CHOCOLAT with the long-awaited story of VIANNE, which begins six years before she opens her scandalous chocolaterie in the small French village of Lansquenet. Joanne discusses her novel’s themes of grief, identity, motherhood, and transformation, and then touches on the healing power of food, the folklore and history of chocolate, memory as a way to keep loved ones alive, and her journey as a writer with synesthesia.
