The Girl with No Shadow - Joanne Harris                                                                                    ( Oldest on TBR)

#2021monopolychallenge - Mostly blue cover

This is the continuation of Vianne Rocher's life, who we first met in 
 "Chocolat".   Here Vianne and her two young daughters try to be "normal" and not use her magic and even stops making her chocolates.  Vianne does not want to bring attention to herself or to have a repeat of what happened before.

Things go along well until Zozie comes into Vianne's life and upsets the balance.

Wonderfully magical and mystical!!


Goodreads Summary:  The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher's every move, buffeting her from the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the crowded streets of Paris. Cloaked in a new identity, that of widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and baby Rosette, safe. But the weather vane soon turns, and Zozie de l'Alba blows into their lives. 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. But beneath their new friend's benevolent facade lies a ruthless treachery--for devious, seductive Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces.
