A perfumer in Paris is forced to return to her California roots in
an exhilarating novel about family, self-discovery, and taking
risks by the author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave. The daughter
of proud Napa Valley hoteliers, Asha “Poppy” Patel chose a
different line as a Paris perfumer, gifted with a nose for
fragrances and business. Until her heightened sense of smell
disappears. Her career in jeopardy, her world now muted, Poppy
returns home. Maybe tending to her grandmother’s massive aromatic
garden, where Poppy’s gift first flowered, will bring restorative
hope. But when she arrives, Poppy discovers that the land upon
which the beautiful garden once thrived has been uprooted and
destroyed. She realizes that the years she spent away from her home
have loosened so many ties with the past. Torn between a mother who
lives vicariously through her and a father who wants her to embrace
her family’s legacy, Poppy is determined to chart her own path of
rediscovery. Poppy must juggle family drama, childhood friendships,
and a former love to forge a future of her own choosing and, in
time, heal an unscented life.
