I know many of you read the wonderful fragrance blog “Bois de Jasmin” and follow its author, Victoria Belim. She has written a memoir called “The Rooster House“, about her quest to reconnect with her Ukrainian heritage and solve a longstanding family mystery. It has had very positive reviews and is on my list to read now that I’ve retired!
Have any of you read it yet?
Serenity Now Scents and Sensibilities 
Yes, and I highly recommend it. I found parts very relatable even without a shared culture or backdrop of events, about one’s relationships with people and places. By the end I was emotionally invested in the people in the story. You will enjoy it, I’m sure!

I’ll have to put this on my list. She’s a wonderful writer and we seem to have similar perfume tastes – I used her blog extensively when I got started, deciding what to try.

I agree, age is a terrific writer and I’ve learned (and still learn) so much from her blog.

I read the first chapter, which didn’t really grab me, but I will finish it. I expected to learn of the mystery right away, but I think I have to keep reading to get there.
