This follow-up to the bestseller-turned-movie, Chocolat, maintained the richness of characters with a twist of mystery that is typical of Joanne Harris novels. It took me a few chapters to figure out the distinct voices telling the story, but once I got the hang of it, I was in. I do enjoy a little magic, and the folktales were woven in throughout the book, pointing out how human interaction alone can be magical.
