"A novel"--Jacket.
Originally published in a different version in the U.K. in 2013 by Corvus.
After her mother, who taught her the art of fragrance-making, passes away, London's leading perfumier, Emma Temple, pregnant and alone, is guided by a series of letters and a key bequeathed to her, which leads her to a house in Valencia where she stumbles upon her family's terrible past.
"High in the hills of Valencia, a forgotten house guards its secrets. Untouched since Franco's forces tore through Spain in 1936, the whitewashed walls have crumbled, and the garden, laden with orange blossom, grows wild. Emma Temple is the first to unlock its doors in seventy years. Emma is London's leading perfumier, but her blessed life has taken a difficult turn ... Guided by a series of letters and a key bequeathed to her in [a] will, [she] decides to leave her job and travel to Valencia, to the house her mother mysteriously purchased just before her death. Emma makes it her mission to restore the place to its former glory"--
