The Perfume Collector by Kathleen TessaroMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Grace's world turns upside down when she finds out she is receiving an inheritance from a woman she never heard of, who lived in, of all places Paris. (I should be so lucky as to get a letter like this!) Grace isn't all that excited about it though--and, she's not sure she can accept this surprise gift. Who was this woman, and why did she leave her money to her? Grace is convinced that she made a mistake.
Eventually Grace leaves for Paris to meet with the lawyers and find out more about her benefactor, Eva. Along the way she discovers some of the mystery behind Eva,and, eventually, Grace also begins to discover herself.
Some of the story was believe-able, and some not so much. For example, I'm not sure I would have had the scruples Grace had as she researched the history behind the gift.
The story switches between people and times and the characters were interesting. It's a little more in depth than a beach read, and a good book to just escape to another place for a weekend.
