Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher's every move, buffeting her from the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the crowded streets of Paris. Cloaked in a new identity, that of widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and baby Rosette, safe. But the weather vane soon turns, and Zozie de l'Alba blows into their lives. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie provides the brightness that Yanne's life needs—as her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk. But beneath their new friend's benevolent façade lies a ruthless treachery—for devious, seductive Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces.

A sweet delight, on many levels! A sequel to "Chocolat" it was fun spending time with old friends. There was a little more emphasis on magic and our characters have matured - the storyline of good versus evil was a little predictable - but, hey, I loved it anyway!

Initially i found the very first few chapters confusing because there is no warning that the novel is written from 3 different perspectives. However once I understood the writing style I really enjoyed the depth it added to the novel. Harris uses this format so elegantly to weave an intricate tale about family, society, identy, being true to yourself and of course chocolate and magic. Great read for the holiday season. Hard to put down and easy to resume when you pick it back up.

It has been quite a while since I read Chocolat, but I don't remember it being so heavily laden with witchcraft as this sequel is. Vianne from Chocolat has changed her name to Yanne and is selling chocolate again in this story. Another main character, new in this sequel, arrives wearing what Yanne's daugher calls "Lollipop Shoes". (I understand the book was sold in the UK under the title "Lollipop Shoes".) This new character is actively practicing withcraft, and Yanne's daughter spends a lot of time with her and becomes very attached to her. Too much so. Despite Yanne having sworn off using any magic, she finds that she may need to use her "powers" in order to save her daughter. Personally, I didn't enjoy the book as much as I did Chocolat. But it was still worth reading.

This sequel to Chocolat is wonderful. I can't say enough about Joanne Harris and her consistent look (throughout all her novels) at how people navigate difficult life situations. While, broadly, this book is about good vs. evil, the author does not so easily categorize any one character as, solely, one or the other. We all have to face our shadows.

Joanne Harris is known for her witty and intelligent stories. Girl with no Shadow is not a continuation of Chocolat. It's been four years and the characters have grown, changed sense we last read. Vianne Rocher is gone, and so are the clothes, shoes, and spirit of Chocolats lead. Instead her and Anouk now try to conform to their new town, until Zozie enters their life with some plans of her own. Through the twists and turns of this mysterious read characters face cosmic dangers as the powers of witchcraft and chocolate are challenged. Along with the addition of a new group of delightful chocolaterie regulars is the return of some well loved characters from the very first book. 'Shadow' is a second helping that is definitly dark, but Harris serves up one sweet ending that makes it go down smooth!
