sierciaChocolat Joanne Harris
I thought this was utterly charming, magic realism that worked for me instead of being a drag. I'd seen the movie and enjoyed it, but I liked the book more. It goes deeper into most of the characters, and definitely goes deeper into the enmity between Vianne and Reynauld (in the book, he's an actual priest, and not an overbearing member of the town). It's also a slightly different story than the movie, with more history, and outcomes that are subtly different from the movie. I'd definitely recommend it.
