The Perfume Garden by Kate Lord Brown |
The book I'm reading this week is The Perfume Garden, the debut novel by English author Kate Lord Brown. The novel tells the story of a London perfumer and the villa in Valencia, Spain that was bequeathed to her by her mother. A second story line delves into her grandmother's time in Valencia during the Spanish civil war.
Earlier this year I enjoyed another book by the author, The House of Dreams, which takes place in the south of France during World War II.

I haven't been to Spain yet but I've started doing some research. In the meantime, I look forward to experiencing the beauty of Valencia through the pages of The Perfume Garden.

Can you recommend a novel you've read that is set in Spain?
