Vianne by Joanne Harris Childrens ClassicsPaperback Secrets. Chocolate. A touch of magic On a warm July evening, Sylviane Rochas scatters her mother's ashes in New York and lets the changing wind blow her to the French seaside town of Marseille. For the first time in her life, Vianne holds the future in her own hands. Charming her way into a job as a waitress in a local bistrot, she knows that she is not here to stay when her child is born in a few months, she must be gone. As she discovers

And what are they trying to tell her about her parents

I know where she was when she wrote them

and vividly brings to life the town's inhabitants including the young idealist Dorothea Brooke

police officers show up at Ben Silver’s front door

and is within hours of an arrest

her hair in a tight bun

Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe

secrets must be uncovered

Do you do any – or all – of the following: touch electric fences

danger awaits
