A young French perfumer. A world at war. A personal vengeance that could destroy a family. **From a USA Today Bestselling Author** Europe, 1939: At the dawn of World War II, French perfumer Danielle Bretancourt and her German husband strive to ensure their family's safety, yet neither can foresee the ultimate cost. From London to Paris, Danielle struggles to find her missing child and aid the French Resistance, even as she grieves her losses. As the war intensifies, Danielle is forced to seek refuge in America to save the lives of her remaining family. She draws on her skills as a talented perfumer to lift her family out of crushing poverty. Yet even as she forges a new life among the Hollywood elite, she cannot forget her child nor the man who risked everything for her. Even an ocean away, she discovers that safety remains an illusion. Set between privileged lifestyles and gritty realities, The Perfumer: Scent of Triumph is one woman's story of courage, spirit, and resilience. Originally published by St. Martin's Press as Scent of Triumph. Other historical sagas by Jan Moran include The Chocolatier, The Winemakers, and Hepburn's Necklace. REVIEWS "A sweeping tale that transports readers from the lavender-scented fields of Provence to the pulsing boulevards of Paris... Heartbreaking, evocative, and inspiring...a powerful journey." - Allison Pataki, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Accidental Empress "A novel that gives fans of romantic sagas a compelling voice to follow." - Booklist "A stylish, compelling story of a family. What sets this apart is the backdrop of perfumery that suffuses the story with the delicious aromas - a remarkable feat!" - Liz Trenow, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Forgotten Seamstress "A gripping World War II story of poignant love and devastating, heart-wrenching loss." - Gill Paul, USA Today and Toronto Globe & Mail Bestselling Author of The Secret Wife "A sweeping saga of one woman's journey through World War II and her unwillingness to give up even when faced with the toughest challenges." - Anita Abriel, Author of The Light After the War "Readers will devour this page-turner as the passions spin out." - Library Journal "Hard to put down...captivating.
