A review by katiegilley
The Girl with No Shadow by Joanne Harris

4.0

At first I was confused and thought I missed a novel or two after Chocolat - but with the help of LT I realized that this was, in fact, the second installment of said series. The novel was published in the UK as Lollipop Shoes.returnreturnThis is the continued story of Anouk and Vianne after they left the village of Lansquenet - the two of them continued to follow the wind, which took them (among other places) to Las Laveuses, which is the village of Framboise and Paul in Five Quarters of the Orange. But with them now is another child, Rosette. Rosette is a challenging child, at present she is four and not yet talking but drawing wonderful pictures and signing for communication.returnreturnVianne, Anouk and Rosette end up working in a small cafe/chocolaterie in Paris, which is where they meet Zozie - a mesmerizing woman who quickly finds herself in good graces of all those around her. Vianne struggles to live a life without magic after Accidents happen with Anouk and Rosette, but Zozie has a magic and an agenda all of her own.returnreturnDefinitely a great read and I loved how Harris intertwined other novels into this one - it feels like fun insider jokes to see characters from other novels pop up.
