The Lollipop Shoes


"Who died?" I said. "Or is it a secret?"
"My mother, Vianne Rocher."

Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmatre, Yanne, and her daughters, Rossette and Annie, live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop. Nothing unusual marks them out; no red sachets hang by the door. The wind has stopped for atleast a while. Then into their lives blows Zozie del' Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes, and everything begins to change...

But this new friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie del' Alba has plans of her own- plans that will shake their world to pieces. And with everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice: to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy... herself.
A sequel to the famous Chocolat by Joanne Harris.
