More about the book

Faith. Secret. Magic. Murder…?

Vianne Rocher has settled down. Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, the place that once rejected her, has finally become her home. With Rosette, her youngest child, she runs her chocolate shop in the square, talks to her friends on the river, is part of the community. Even Reynaud, the priest, has become a friend.

But when old Narcisse, the florist, dies, leaving a parcel of land to Rosette and a written
confession to Reynaud, the life of the sleepy village is once more thrown into disarray.
Then the opening of a mysterious new shop in the place of the florist’s across the square -
one that mirrors the chocolaterie, and has a strange appeal of its own – seems to herald a
change: a confrontation, a turbulence – even, perhaps, a murder . . .

What will the wind blow in today?

Apply by Thursday 22 April.
