About this listen

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

Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her daughters, Rosette 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 - at least for a while.

Then into their lives blows Zozie de l’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 de l’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.

Superbly crafted

Narrative was divine.

Enthralled by the storyline. Descriptive narrative is stunning.

Can’t wait to read and spend time with these characters, again and be immersed in their lives.

Magical, exciting and captivating

I was dubious at first as I thought it was just a re-hashed Chocolat story but although it does follow the same characters and similar themes it just got better and better and I couldn't wait to listen to it every day. I love the way Harris weaves the fantastical in with the mundanity of every day modern life.

If you enjoyed Chocolat, you'll love this follow on!

This story is so well told! I love how it's seen, slightly differently, through the eyes of 3 of the main characters. If you enjoyed Chocolat, you'll love this follow on!

The narrator was good - though sometimes it was hard to tell which of the 3 voices she was doing.

Gorgeous reading of a beautiful story

This book, like the first, feels as slow and warm as the chocolate a lot of the time, but sometimes a twist of chilli surprises you. Wonderful magical tale.

Well read & keeps you guessing right until the end

Although some of the characters are from other books by Joanne Harris this is an excellent book and can stand alone, without knowledge of previous stories...
Well narrated and keeps you guessing right until the end....
