About this listen
As dawn breaks over the Pont Neuf, and the cobbled alleyways of Paris come to life, Anna Trent is already awake and at work; mixing and stirring the finest, smoothest, richest chocolate; made entirely by hand, it is sold to the grandes dames of Paris.
It's a huge shift from the chocolate factory she worked in at home in the north of England. But when an accident changed everything, Anna was thrown back in touch with her French teacher, Claire, who offered her the chance of a lifetime - to work in Paris with her former sweetheart, Thierry, a master chocolatier. With old wounds about to be uncovered and healed, Anna is set to discover more about real chocolate - and herself - than she ever dreamed.

This is also a comforting tale of the human spirit triumphing over adversity. Whilst not making it too big a part of the story and without trivialising the life changing accident at the beginning, the subjects of pain and illness are sensitively handled here.
It's set in two time frames, that are intricately woven together so that the past brings love and opportunity into the present. The older character Claire takes us on a trip down her own memory lane; while by a lucky coincidence of their being in hospital at the same time she meets and helps Anna. Then the life of Anna in the present undergoes a healing journey and is transformed by their chance meeting.
Although its a departure from the more frivolous storylines that Jenny Colgan's work tends to focus on, I thought she reached new heights with this book and have listened twice since I bought it a few years ago and writing this makes me want to listen all over again too! The narrator is perfect for this story and the way she does the voices, impressive.
