Summary
'A moving novel of strength and resistance in the face of evil but also an inspiring journey of resilience after loss' Erin Litteken
'I will never forget what the Nazi did to me. Never'
1940, Nazi-occupied Paris. A powerful story of love, tragedy and incredible courage, about one woman whose life is ripped apart by war and risks everything to seek justice.
As Nazis patrol the streets of the French capital, Tiena is alone, desperate and on the run. After defending herself against the force of an officer, she must find a new identity in order to survive.
An accidental meeting with members of the Resistance gives her a lifeline, as she is offered the chance to reinvent herself as perfumer Angéline De Cadieux.
However Angéline will never forget what happened to her, and will do everything she can to seek revenge. But vengeance can be a dangerous game, and Angeline can only hide her true identity for so long before her past catches up with her, with some devastating consequences...
Paris, 2003. When the opportunity arises for aspiring journalist Emma Keane to interview world renowned perfumer Madame De Cadieux about her life during World War Two, she is determined to take it. There are secrets from her own family history that she hopes Angéline may be able to help unlock.
But nothing can prepare Emma for Angéline's story, and one thing is for certain - it will change her own life forever…
An absolutely heartbreaking, unforgettable historical novel of war, sacrifice and survival, from the bestselling author of The Resistance Girl. Perfect for fans of Suzanne Goldring, Ella Carey and Catherine Hokin.

Don’t let this story pass you by.
Incredible. Unbelievably accurate in detail, surrounded by fictitious characters who grab your heart, and guide you through. Shows what courage can achieve.

A slow start gets more fluid as the characters develop
I’ve read many better but similar stories. This was slower and less engaging but still worth a listen

The scent of perfume
Loved the perfume and the notes within at the beginning of each chapter
Nicely written but a bit twee in places, which is a shame as it is set in occupied Paris in the Second World War.
Characters are well drawn, I liked the Romany background Angeline was given. We forget that the Gypsies were also persecuted and sent to the concentration camps as they were considered substandard humans by the Nazis.
In all it’s a nice book, yes I would recommend but not if you like a bit more substance and less twee.
Anyway it’s free so you have hardly wasted anything

Great book, slow start but stick with it
Was slow to get going but stick with it.
Beautifully written. The narrator was good, however she needed to display more emotion. At the very emotional points of the story it sounded like Siri was reading it. Great book though.
