Description
On a warm July evening, Sylviane Rochas scatters her mother’s ashes in New York and follows the wind to the French seaside town of Marseille, where—at last—she feels the future open before her. With no plan but survival, she charms her way into work at a local bistrot and discovers that cooking can be both refuge and reinvention, especially when bittersweet chocolate spices begin to shape the stories around her. As she prepares for the life growing within her, Vianne learns that desire is never simple in a town full of secrets—and that revealing too much can invite danger. Woven with Joanne Harris’s signature blend of lyrical atmosphere and thought-provoking emotion, this prequel to the world of *Chocolat* explores fate, motherhood, and the quiet, transformative power of everyday magic.
