YA
Emmeline, born into low society and with a misshapen foot, has always felt unwanted, but when a dairyman's son discovers her miraculous ability to turn cream into chocolate, she becomes the most desired woman in Anglund (where chocolate has been a legend). Selfors's fantasy world springs vividly to life through skilled prose; Emmeline is a brave heroine; and the romance is touching and thoroughly believable.
