The shop begins to prosper under her guidance, much to Thierry's displeasure. She helps Anouk to deal with the bullies who torment her at school. She is soon working at the chocolaterie, helping and understanding everyone as Vianne used to do. She has her eye on Vianne's life, and begins to insinuate herself into the family. But Zozie is a thief of identities, maybe even a collector of souls. She seems to be exactly what Vianne herself used to be: a benevolent force and a free spirit, helping people wherever she goes. Zozie de l'Alba comes into their lives, bringing her magic and enchantment. She dislikes living in Paris and her situation seems hopeless and set to get worse. She is bullied at school and made to feel an outcast. Concealing her magical nature, she feels she is doing the right thing, but she is dissatisfied: there is friction with Anouk money is short there is pressure from her landlord, Thierry Le Tresset, and she no longer has the inclination to make hand-made, quality chocolate.Īnouk is an unhappy adolescent. Vianne is now known as the widow Yanne Charbonneau and Anouk is now Annie. Vianne Rocher, now with two daughters, Anouk and Rosette, has forsaken magic and adventure for a monotonous life running a small chocolaterie in the Montmartre district of Paris. Their lives are changed by the mysterious and free-spirited Zozie de l'Alba. No longer living in Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, Vianne Rocher and her two daughters, Anouk and Rosette, are settled in the Montmartre quarter of Paris. Darker than Chocolat-more openly mystical-this story is set between Halloween and Christmas.
