Perfume Garden - Softcover

Praise for The Perfume Garden
"Sweepingly romantic ... heartbreaking at times; a vivid, gripping read." --Katherine Webb, international bestselling author of The Legacy
"I found myself bewitched by The Perfume Garden ... a deliciously winding narrative that takes us into the heart of battle, the locked rooms of family secrets, and the alluring promise of finally finding true love." --Good Housekeeping (UK)
"The novel is beautifully constructed, with the characters' individual experiences gradually weaving together, and the events of the past unfolding to reveal aftershocks in Emma's present... Brown's pacing is exquisite, revealing each twist slowly and deliberately, leaving you gripped to the end." --The Bookseller (UK)
"This book is exactly the sort of book I love to read the most ... the setting is wonderfully romantic and evocative, and Emma's job as a perfumier adds an extra frisson of sensuous interest. I have always been fascinated by this period of history, and THE PERFUME GARDEN does an extraordinary job of bringing it to life." --Kate Forsyth, international bestselling author of Bitter Greens
"An absolute treat. There were some tearful moments, the occasionally funny moment and several 'Oh no!' moments. If I could have given this book 11/10 I would have done so." --Novelicious (grade: 10/10)
"This book is an intelligent blend of beauty and sentimentality, and the moving nature of human experience during wartime." --Bookgeeks

""The Perfume Garden" swept me along with its interlinked stories of love and loss, heroism and hope. Beautifully written and researched this is an intensely atmospheric read, and a hugely enjoyable one." --Isabel Wolff, international bestselling author of "A Vintage Affair
