I love all the Chocolat books, and I can't choose a favourite, but I do like the development of Lansquenet in this with the arrival of the Muslim community and the clash of cultures between them and the traditional French Catholic culture. Vianne, predictably, stands in the gap between the two, and Father Francis, a lot less predictably, plays his part there too. Very atmospheric, great characters, a hint of danger, and the usual amazing food descriptions. A favourite.
(Rula Lenska and Gareth Armstrong do a great job narrating the audiobook.)
