For all the talk about realism in fiction, it is something special to step into a beautifully and intricately imagined fictional world. This is a very inventive novel about a family candy business narrated by a woman who knows all its secrets. I became immersed in Alice's world and learned a lot about the candy business, spend time with an array of interesting characters, and picked up some history about World War II and Madagascar along the way.

What better for post Valentine reading than a novel about candy?
