Ho appena finito di leggerlo e sono rimasta senza fiato. Questo libro è bellissimo. Le due voci di Vianne e del Curè che si alternano nel racconto, le descrizioni, l'accuratezza dell'autrice nel ricreare la realtà di un piccolo paese del sud della Francia (che per certi versi mi ricorda il mio paese...
I dare anyone to read this novel and not hunger for something sweet.This is a wonderful tale of family and magic and hope. It is not your typical romance and well worth the time. You may find yourself wishing for a confection or two...before you've finished reading. Devlin
Chocolat is one of those books that you hear about. You hear how good it is. You’re familiar with the highly successful film. You’ve been meaning to read it for years but it just hasn’t happened yet. It kind of seems like maybe you’ll never get around to it.I finally got around to it and surprise of...
A few reviewers here hold the simplistic view that this book blatantly attacks Christianity. But it's about "the secrets beneath rustic village life". And organized religion is often one of the things that can become dangerous in an isolated community, that much is undeniable. The novel is much bett...
One of the rare books I like less than the movie they inspired. Probably because I had see the movie before, and had different expectations. Oh well, can't change that.
When I read Chocolat, I couldn’t help to be astonished by its beautiful written story about a woman and her daughter, moving to a new place, just hoping to fit it and to find a place to settle for good.It’s carnival in the small village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, Vianne Rocher and her daughter, Anou...
This book is a hard one to review. I liked the story and characters, but at the other hand I didn’t like Harris’s writing and the way she portrays the characters. Take Vianne; the first time we “meet” her, we know there is something magical about her and at some points it’s really clear in ...
3.5 stars. I think I'd have been really into it if I hadn't seen the movie first--it was a little jarring to me that the characters I'm so in love with from the movie were (gasp!) different in the book. But it's well-written, and some of the changes are interesting.
The book is better than the movie by a wide margin and I LOVED the movie. Several important character differences between book and movie. I'm not sure why they were necessary. Alfred Molina would have made a splendid priest, hm? This is a wonderfully nuanced story with things only hinted at in the m...
I was first introduced to this story by the film starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. And while I do love the film, I must say that I do like the book as well. The film, I think, is lighter in tone than the book, especially with its supporting cast and the little romances that blossom under th...
