This is the original book of the movie with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche. If you enjoyed the movie, then I think you'll love the book, too. It has the same vibe and general story line, with a couple notable differences in character and plot. It's set in France, when a woman and her daughter move to a small town during Lent. They set up a chocolaterie, igniting changes in the lives of the towns people and the priest, who is desperate to make everyone keep their lenten vows. It was an interesting exploration of self-determination and happiness versus following social rules that make you miserable. I enjoyed this one, and it made for a great conversation in my book club!
