About this listen

’Who died?' I said. 'Or is it a secret?' 'My mother, Vianne Rocher.'

Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her daughters, Rosette and Annie, live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop. Nothing unusual marks them out; no red sachets hang by the door. The wind has stopped - at least for a while.

Then into their lives blows Zozie de l’Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes, and everything begins to change…. But this new friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie de l’Alba has plans of her own – plans that will shake their world to pieces. And with everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice; to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy… Herself.

Every now and the. You read a book that changes your life. For me, this is one of those books. It is a profound and deeply moving story about narcissism and the impact this disorder has both on the person with the disorder and all those around them. It is harrowing for those of us who have come under the dark influence of such a person. It is also ultimately liberating as well. Like all of Harris’ novels, there are layers here that reward the reader with lots of thought-provoking switchbacks and double-takes. You can enter this world again and again and never be bored. I highly recommend this novel. The audio is also of the first quality and the narrator does a wonderful job of altering the voicing for each character with just enough subtlety and consistently to be able to carry the narrative quite effectively. You have to be alert however, to the changes in character as and when they occur or it can be a little confusing.

Just Wonderful

This is a wonderful book written by a brilliant storyteller. Deliciously descriptive, builds suspense and intrigue. Well narrated, not by the author, but the crisp English accent gave the narcissist the hardness needed. Having the misfortune to have met people like Zozie, her portrayal was frighteningly accurate, and I was glad for the happy ending to her involvement.

A must read!

Very enjoyable and light enough to listen to at bedtime. Loved the narration, only the mens voices seemed quite a bit louder than necessary and as I was listening in bed often scared me awake haha Overall I enjoyed the story even if I didn't understand some of the French 😊

Enjoyable
