I enjoyed this book. The story follows Eve who meets Dom and, after
a whirlwind romance, moves with him to the crumbling hamlet of Les Genevriers
in Provence. As they settle in to their new home all is rosy until Eve
starts to question what happened to Dom’s ex-wife Rachel. At the same time, strange things start to
happen in the house. The story also
follows the life of Benedicte, a former inhabitant of Les Genevriers. The chapters, which are very short, alternate
between the present day with Eve and the past with Benedicte. For me Benedicte’s story didn’t flow as well. I
found Eve’s story much more interesting and was thoroughly engrossed as she
searched for the answers to Dom’s secrets.
The descriptions of Provence and perfume are rich and evocative.
