A review by sharon_1963
The Little Perfume Shop off the Champs-Élysées by Rebecca Raisin
5.0
I have not read any of the authors books up to this point so I had no idea what to expect. What I discovered was an amazing heartfelt tale of loss, friendship and belief in your own abilities and finding the strength to change your life even when it feels you are making all the wrong decisions.
It is not just a tale about all those things, it is also a journey of the sensory kind, all the aroma's Del's experiences in the challenges set out for her make it a story not just for the eyes alone. I was so drawn in immediately to this adventure. I too could smell and see what Del could. There is nothing that pleases me more as a reader than to be able to connect to a character that way. It is also an emotional journey. Del had me laughing, crying and sometimes cringing.
The characters are bold, heart warming and inspiring, I even had a soft spot for the not so nice Clementine who eventually showed her true colours when things didn't go the way she planned. It is a rare thing for me to like a mean character but in this case, I did.
There are so many reasons you will fall in love with the story but I will let you find out for yourself. All I will say is once you read one Rebecca Raisin books you will want to read more.
