Perfume - Patrick Suskind
Smells are important. Smell can evoke long forgotten memories, make you hungry, make you retch. Grenouille is born in stinking eighteenth century Paris. He has a talent for identifying and dissecting every odour around him but does not emanate any smell himself. This original tale follows Grenouille as he learns the trade of a perfumer and then travels to the olfactory mecca of Grasse. His obsession leads to deadly consequences.
A fascinating and absorbing novel.
