Description
A forgotten house in the hills of Valencia holds secrets and stories within its crumbling walls. Emma Temple, London's leading perfumer, has just inherited this mysterious property from her recently deceased mother. As she sets out to restore the beautiful but decaying house to its former glory, she uncovers a series of letters and a key bequeathed to her in her mother's will. Guided by these clues, Emma embarks on a journey to unlock the secrets of her family's past, particularly one that has remained hidden for decades. As she works to revive the garden, laden with orange blossom, she must also confront her own personal demons and the memories that have been locked away. With two beautifully interwoven narratives, Kate Lord Brown's The Perfume Garden is a dramatic and emotional debut that explores themes of love, family secrets, and the power of scent.
