Publisher's Summary:
It isn't often you receive a letter from the dead.
When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet, the village in south-west France where, eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop.
But Vianne is completely unprepared for what she finds there. Women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea, and there, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the square little tower of the church of Saint-Jerôme like a piece on a chessboard - slender, bone-white and crowned with a silver crescent moon - a minaret.
Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought big changes to the community. Father Reynaud, Vianne's erstwhile adversary, is now disgraced and under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him?

Vianne Never Stays Long Enough
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
As always Joanne Harris delivers yet another spellbinding tale from Lansquenet and so a must for all of those who have followed Vianne Rocher and her family through the trilogy.
What did you like best about this story?
I always adore the way Joanne Harris weaves her spell in the way she write her stories.
Which character as performed by Rula Lenska and Gareth Armstrong was your favorite?
Vianne and the children by Rula and Monsieur le Cure by Gareth Armstrong
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the veil was removed for the first time and the story is behind that veil revealed.
Any additional comments?
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing this book. The story brings a thousand different images through Joanne Harris' superb ability to capture her readers in a web of intrigue. The smells, colours and characters are seen in the eye of the mind so clearly that again I felt transported to France. I only wish I could visit that wonderful fictitious town known as Lansquenet and visit the Chocolaterie. Perhaps another movie on the way, I hope so.
Intriguing the best yet!
This is Joanne Harriss best yet. I have read most of her books and enjoy her writing but this one surprised me I could not have predicted the twists in this story. It was a terrific sequel to Chocolat and I hope there will be more to come. Highly recommended.
Beautiful
What did you love best about Peaches for Monsieur le Curé?
Joanne Harris hasn't let us down. Loved this book as much as her others. Beautifully written, I feel like I am dreaming when I read/listen to her stories.
What didnt you like about Rula Lenska and Gareth Armstrong s performance?
I found the voices difficult to distinguish at first. I prefer audiobooks that use different actors for all the different characters.
Delightful and delicious
If you could sum up Peaches for Monsieur le Curé in three words, what would they be?
Vivid, entertaining and enlightening.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Peaches for Monsieur le Curé?
When they picked the first peaches - I could almost taste them!
Which scene was your favorite?
When the cure was giving confession through his letter box. I also liked spending time in the kitchen with the Muslim women.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I liked having the time to digest each chapter without having to rush through to the next.
