March bookclub selection: Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Edible Books is a monthly bookclub that participates via Twitter. The selection for March is 'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris.

During our recent听听(author of our February book selection, "The School of Essential Ingredients") she listed听"Chocolat" among听her favorite food books, so in a way this book was her nomination.

And as one of our book club members noted last month, "Chocolat" is the 鈥減erfect Lenten read.鈥� The book opens on Shrove Tuesday and ends with Easter Monday and we鈥檒l follow the Lenten journey of the citizens of the village of Lansquenet, after chocolatier Vianne Rocher opens her shop and turns their quiet little town on its ear.

The book description promises that 鈥渆very page offers a description of chocolate to melt in the mouths of chocoholics, francophiles, armchair gourmets, cookbook readers, and lovers of passion everywhere.鈥�

"Chocolat" should spark some interesting discussion about temptation, indulgence, and the value of austerity.

Happy Reading!听
