The bestselling author of Chocolat and The Girl with No
Shadow returns to Lansquenet in this enchanting new novel
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave,
she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back
to Lansquenet, the beautiful French village in which eight
years ago she opened a chocolate shop and first learned the
meaning of home.
But returning to one’s past can be a dangerous pursuit.
Vianne, with her daughters, Anouk and Rosette, finds
Lansquenet changed in unexpected ways: women veiled in
black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea—and there, on
the bank of the river Tannes, facing the church, a minaret.
Most surprising of all, her old nemesis, Father Francis
Reynaud, desperately needs her help.
