Books du Jour Book Club
Wednesday, March 19, 10:30am
This month the Book Club discusses Peaches for Father Francis by Joanne Harris.
Even before it was adapted into the Oscar-nominated film starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp, Joanne Harris’s Chocolat entranced readers with its mix of hedonism, whimsy, and, of course, chocolate. Now, at last, Chocolat’s heroine returns to the beautiful French village of Lansquenet in another, equally beguiling tale.
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no
choice but to return to Lansquenet, where she once owned a chocolate
shop and learned the meaning of home. But returning to one’s past can be
a dangerous pursuit, and Vianne and her daughters find the beautiful
French village changed in unexpected ways: women veiled in black, the
scent of spices in the air, and—facing the church—a minaret. Most
surprising of all, her old nemesis, Francis Reynaud, desperately needs
her help. Can Vianne work her magic once again?
