This week Vicki has chosen “THE GIRL WITH NO SHADOW” by Joanne Harris. This book is a sequel to “CHOCOLATE HOLY FOODS” and is delightful dark and a far darker chocolate recipe.

The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher’s every move, buffeting her from the French village of Laansquenet-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 someone blows into their lives. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie provides the brightness Yanne’s life needs-----as her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk. But beneath their new friend’s benevolent facade lies a ruthless treachery-----for devious, seductive Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces.

“THE GIRL WITH NO SHADOW” is available now at the Big Sandy Library.
