I am about a third done with the novel Perfume by Patrick Suskind, my 97th read this year.
It is a literary historical fantasy novel set in 18th-century France. Don’t be surprised if you have a plan to read this because it is purely in narrative.
This is only the second time I encountered a book about scents, flowers and their meaning and about how perfumes are made. The first book was The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh back in 2015.
Perfume -the Story of a Murderer, an engaging read. Wikipedia says that “is one of the best-selling German novels of the 20th century”. I think there is a full movie adaptation on YouTube. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5SCinO7550)
