About this deal

is a reference to Ammit, a female figure from Egyptian mythology who was the personification of divine retribution for all the wrongs a person had done in his or her life. There is a man who pretends to want something other than what he really wants, and a small group of somewhat lost individuals who might come together as a family. But Chocolat was never really about chocolate – it was about people and how they respond to concepts like pleasure, temptation, guilt and love. Parallelism is rampant as Harris points out that the witches both lie about their past, assume multiple identities, have issues with their parentage and cast spells of different sorts. Vianne has another daughter, Rosette; Anouk has started secondary school; and the three of them are living in a rented chocolaterie in the Montmartre district of Paris.

He's an amateur photographer, his favourite word is 'lame' and his ambition is to see and photograph a ghost.Firstly I would like to praise Joanne Harris - Chocolat was such a spellbounding success, I had no idea where this book was going to take me.

All we’re given is his resentment and anger towards Vianne for a short period of time, and before we know it, the novel is closing and he’s back and embracing his new found family.After certain events (can't explain, spoiler country) she decided she needed security for her family. I wondered what had happened to our lovely Vianne, until I found that this woman was actually The Girl With No Shadow. As Zozie reveals some of the things she has done to her victims in the past, I found myself really concerned for Vianne's family, who are only trying to live a quiet life. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie provides the brightness that Yanne's life needs--as her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk.

The characters are beautifully drawn, and I was invested in their well being and how this story was going to work out. There are lots of twists and turns (more than the first one) which would keep a reader engaged and keep on turning the pages. The Lollipop Shoes picks up the story of Vianne and her daughters and takes us on a magical and spellbinding journey to Paris. Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths. Then a glow began to clear away some of the tarnish and haze and allowed a sparkle to shine here and there.Anouk/Annie is a confused pre-teen who fights with her mother (typical) and feels misunderstood and unappreciated (typical). A much-used word, karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions. And I found the storyline of Red coming back to find her almost ludicrous as their relationship in Chocolat never developed into what we are lead to belive it did in this book.

While Yann negotiated with manufacturers and distribution centres, Majorie designed their collections.There are new characters to love, old favourites to adore all over again, and new characters that you'll love to hate.
