Scent

By: Isabel Costello

Narrated by: Deirdra Whelan

From the author of Paris Mon Amour.

Every day in Paris carries proof that love exists, in the air, on the streets and behind closed doors. Just not mine.

The cracks in Clémentine and Édouard’s marriage are becoming impossible to ignore. Her work as a perfumer is no longer providing solace, and her sense of self is withering. Then, decades after the end of a bisexual love triangle, Clémentine’s former lover resurfaces. What does she want, if not revenge? Set in Paris and Provence, this is a beautifully crafted, intimate portrait of a woman navigating conflicting desires whilst dreaming of a fulfilling future.
