Description: Charlotte is a woman who's looking for more - more love, more sex, more chocolate. Searching for satisfaction, compelled by longing, both emotional and gustatory, she travels the world. At each stop on her pilgrimage to the great shrines of chocolate - Brussels, Paris, Vienna, and beyond - she is entangled in relationships that ultimately leave her hungry again. The road eventually leads home, where Charlotte finds her true love waiting in Brooklyn, where he has been all along.

Ruefully, she has learned that longing is, after all, a part of love. But so is chocolate. This sensual novel, complete with recipes, lists of elite chocolatiers around the world, and sinful photographs, enables the reader to explore the dark and erotic underside of women's mysterious passion for chocolate.
