1666. Newly married to a wealthy spice merchant, Kate Finche
believes all her dreams of a happy family life are just around the
corner until the Great Fire rages through London. She watches in
horror as their livelihood goes up in flames, filling the air with
the heady scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. As the city is
devastated, Kate's husband Robert is forced to seek employment to
ensure their survival, but when he is found drowned, Kate refuses
to believe that he has taken his own life. Widowed and penniless,
she seeks refuge in The House of Perfume, the home of blind
perfumer Gabriel Harte, who awakens Kate's senses to a whole new
world. But as she flees from this forbidden love, her husband's
murderer comes looking for her . . . The Spice Merchant's Wife is a
stunning novel, bursting with the colour and flavour of Restoration
London - perfect for readers of Phillipa Gregory, Joanne Harris and
Patrick Suskind's Perfume.
