Book Review: A Bewitching Tale
Summary: 4 Stars
Vianne Rocher may not prefer the word "witch" but the spell she casts over the town of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes is bewitching and enlightning all the same. With her new chocolat shop, Vianne gives the townspeople the little something extra they need to shake themeselves out of the monotonous and constricting ways of life. Unfortunately the local priest, whose church just so happens to be straight across the street from Vianne's Lent-free shop, does not take any joy in her arrival. He finds himself on a personal, self-destructive quest to show her that in this town, the church, his church, will 'win'. The tale is told between the priest, Francis Reynaud, and Vianne in dated, but not quite diary entries. Joanne Harris properly paces the unveiling of secrets, scandals and quiet triumphs. The confectioner's descriptions are enough to tempt the very saints, if she was inclined to believe in such thigns that is. (A box of chocolates within arms reach is a must with this novel.) Well worth your time and money. A great story of good and evil and the difference between temptation and greed, happiness and piousness. Vianne may not have been the cause for change in the little town, but she certainly caused some fireworks.
