Joanne Harris is the writer of the “Chocolat" series, which began with the famous Chocolat (also made into a movie with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp) which spawned three sequels all continuing the story of the mysterious, talented and independent Vianne and her daughters as they struggle to find their place in the world. But in her newest contribution to the series, Vianne, she writes beautifully of Vianne’s prequel story. What brought Vianne to her love of chocolate and what spawns her to keep traveling the world, untethered and without roots? This is the story of her beginnings and her beginnings as the literary chocolatier that we have come to know and love. We also talk to an amazing bookstore that is over a century old, Andover Bookstore in Andover, Massachusetts. Tune in and find out how a bookstore can still be great…even after 100 years.
