The Girl with No Shadow

2009

by Joanne Harris

The Girl with No Shadow continues the enchanting tale begun in Chocolat. The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher's every move, guiding her from the quaint French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the bustling streets of Paris.

Cloaked in a new identity as widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a charming Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and baby Rosette, safe.

But the weather vane soon turns, and into their lives blows Zozie de l'Alba. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie brings the brightness and vitality that Yanne's life needs. Her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle the rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk.

However, beneath Zozie's benevolent façade lies a ruthless treachery. The devious, seductive Zozie has plans that could shake their world to its very core.
