The Girl with No Shadow by Joanne Harris
5.0
This book was such a delight! So full of magic and whimsy, and much more enjoyable than the first book. I do believe that I wasn't quite fair to Chocolat, having watched the movie first. In any case, I loved The Girl With No Shadow.
Vianne is in Paris this time, though in such a small section of it, that it is more like another little village. Anouk is a pre-teen, struggling to find her way. Of course, that is more difficult now that they are trying desperately to be normal. Vianne is now Yanne, and Anouk is now Annie. They wear boring clothes, sell boring chocolates, and live dull "normal" lives. Oh yes, and there's Rosette. Vianne had a baby during their wondering flight from the lovely village of, Lansquenet-sous-Tannes. Why did they run away? What happened between than and now? Four years have passed, and Vianne is barely recognizable, even to herself. In walks Zozie. She is mysterious and magical. She has an agenda, that is clear. She stirs things up right from the start, and it doesn't take long for the magic that Vianne has tried so hard to conceal to coming roaring back to life. But, at what cost? What does Zozie really want? Oh, what a lovely, consuming, mysterious, adventure these pages reveal. Love!
