It was a joy to chat with @joannechocolat.bsky.social about her new novel, Vianne. It's a sumptuous prequel to Chocolat & she shared so many insights into her writing.
Thanks to @huddlitfest.bsky.social for this opportunity, and to the audience for your lovely questions.

A group of students in school uniforms are sitting at grey desks in a classroom or cafeteria. One girl with braided hair is speaking while holding a pen, and a boy across from her is smiling with a sheet of paper in front of him. Other students are seated around them, some listening attentively. The background shows more students sitting further back at similar desks with blue chairs
