The perfume garden : a novel / Kate Lord Brown.
High in the hills of Valencia, a forgotten house guards its secrets. Emma Temple is the first to unlock its doors in nearly seventy years. Emma is London's leading perfumer, but her blessed life has taken a difficult turn. Her free-spirited mother, Liberty, who taught her the art of fragrance making, has just passed away. At the same time, she has broken up with her longtime lover and business partner, Joe, whose baby she happens to be carrying. While Joe is in New York trying to sell his majority share in their company, Emma, guided by a series of letters and a key bequeathed to her in Liberty's will, decides to travel to Valencia, to the house her mother mysteriously purchased just before her death. Redolent of exotic neroli, the villa is a prefect retreat. But for her aging grandmother, a British nurse who stayed in Valencia during Spain's devastating civil war, Emma's new home evokes memories of a terrible secret.
