'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 daughters, Rosette and Annie, 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, and everything begins to change.... But this new friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie de l'Alba has plans of her own - plans that will shake their world to pieces. And 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 loved Chocolate...but I fell in love with The Lollipop Shoes! Such a rich treat! Just like the creations in the Chocolaterie, the story lines and characters have layers of flavors--some bitter, some spicy, just enough sweet to blend together to make the perfect concoction. This is not a one-time read. So much more filling than the previous offering, this indulgence is one I will return to with pleasure!
