At first she came across as such a promisingly multi faceted old goat, but she kind of fizzled out by the end. Malory was so stereotypical I wanted to slap her at times! Eva, Lambert and Valmont, though beginning strongly, lost vitality along the way, almost as though the author got bored of them. Grace and Eduard were so dull and boring that I couldn't have cared less whether or not they ended up together. The perfume side of the story in general could have been much more informative - whilst we met several perfumiers, we never really got to learn how they plied their craft.īut for me, the characterisation was blatantly lacking.
However, there were aspects that weren't developed enough for me. I liked the places described in Paris - familiar to anyone who's been and done the tourist thing there.
I really liked the story and the way the two separate time frames were heading towards their final linkage - which I did guess most of, but that didn't seem to matter.
