The Lollipop Shoes (Chocolat 2)
The Lollipop Shoes (Chocolat 2) | Joanne Harris
15 posts | 36 read | 26 to read
'Who died?' I said. 'Or is it a secret?' 'My mother, Vianne Rocher.' Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her two daughters live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop. Nothing unusual marks them out; no red sachets hang by the door.The wind has stopped - at least for a while. Then into their lives blows Zozie de l'Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes,ruthless, devious and seductive. With everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice; to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy... Herself.

I had no idea there were more books after Chocolat! I enjoyed this one and the end was surprising. I will definitely read the third one too.

I really really enjoyed reading this. This was such a magical read from start to finish, and the journey of all characters was heartwarming. It's definitely as great as Chocolat, perhaps even better.

I didn't like this book nearly as much as Chocolat, the first book in the series. I'm still not entirely sure of the point of this book, but maybe it will make more sense when I read the third book. Aside from that, I thought it was an interesting story, and I'm glad Vianne came back to her senses in the end.

I'm hoping to finish The Girl with No Shadow today, so I can start the next in the series, Peaches for Monsieur Le Curé. #coffeeandabook

I really liked Chocolat, the first book in this series. I'm enjoying this one so far, but can't quite figure out where the story is going, as it seems quite different from the first book. #coffeeandabook

annahenke I had no idea there was a sequel! 5y
Maggie_Reads @annahenke There‘s another book after this one too. 5y
Maggie_Reads @CoffeeNBooks I tried to read this but I didn‘t enjoy it at all so I didn‘t bother finishing it. I went on to book #3 and enjoyed that much more. 5y

BarbaraJean @Maggie_Reads @annahenke I originally read Chocolat thinking it was a stand-alone, and didn‘t discover there were more until I bought Peaches for Father Francis. (Which I have yet to read!) And now there‘s a fourth book as well—just released this year! 5y
CoffeeNBooks @BarbaraJean I didn't realize there was a fourth book! 5y

I haven't had much time to read this week because my mother-in-law was here visiting. I enjoyed having her here, so it was worth giving up some reading time, but now I'm ready to settle in with some coffee and books! ☕📚

0/5⭐ What a disappointment after Chocolat. Vianne is a shadow of herself, nothing happens, there's no antagonist/trajectory, Thierry is an awful backwards controlling man to Vianne & Rosette who the real Vianne wouldn't tolerate at all. By adding more elements of literal magic Harris lost what made the first book actually magical. I DNFed just under 50% right after Roux appeared because I couldn't stand how nonsensical everyone was. #projectSAMS
