What goes together better than chocolate and Russian history? Not a lot. Which is why we are getting all
hot and bothered about the release of The Last Station, the new film starring Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren and James McAvoy, by giving away a
beautiful (and delicious) Easter egg from Hotel Chocolat and a copy of the novel by Jay Parini.
The Last Station is a film about the
difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it. It follows the last years of the literary genius Leo Tolstoy as he battles with his ideals, his health and his wife. We also
find it difficult to live with chocolate but impossible to live without it. Plus we've seen the film – it's excellent, so no doubt the novel is too.
The chocolate egg is top quality, with one shell cast in Hotel Chocolat's
special 40% cocoa house milk chocolate and the other in 70% dark chocolate studded with cocoa nibs –. It even comes with
10 ganache-filled truffle eggs including champagne & strawberry, rum & caramel, amaretto and more. Natural piping. 360g approx.
