Scented (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pick up this book and it's odds on your olfactory senses will shoot into overdrive. It's by no means the first novel about a scent maker, there have been a heap of them, but what makes this one stand out from the crowd is that, to the best of this reviewer's knowledge, it's the first to be dedicated to the fragrance of the flora native to this country. But this is no handbook portraying the perfumes produced by our flowers, ferns and volcanic pumice. Fearnley uses them as the backdrop for a cleverly crafted story of Sian, a woman seeking to reinstate her identity by creating perfumes. . . . This is a book with the sweet smell of a successful story lying between its 250 pages.
