| Plot Summary of Chocolat |
|---|
"Mysterious woman moves to small French village with her daughter and opens a chocolate shop. She uses her special abilities to bring the town together and spread happiness."
Amanda Goodwin, Resident Scholar

"Chocolat is an enthralling story about a woman who simply wants to bring joy through her candies to this small dreary town. The priest of the church is determined to convince the town that she is an evil person out to cause harm. She not only shows the town that she is not evil, she brings happiness to the people of this town, she saves her friend from an abusive husband and still has time to fall in love with a gypsy. She teaches all of us that we should be our true selves and not give into the pressures of those around us. This book was so well worded and described that the reader can almost taste the chocolates as they are sifting through the book."
Cristin, Resident Scholar
