Chocolat
Joanne Harris · 1999
A sensuous and gentle love story wrapped in the magic of a chocolatier arriving in a small French village during Lent. Vianne and Roux's romance develops slowly and naturally; the real subject is the way love requires freedom. Freedom from judgment, from history, from the self you've been told to be.

The case for it, the case against, and the rest of the canon open with Pro.
