The Perfume Collector par Kathleen Tessaro
https://tamaranth.blogspot.com/2024/05/2024067-perfume-collector-katherine.html
It was a good story not very well told.
Typos, errors, and inaccuracies bother me; they distract me from the story, tending to make me go back and read again, thinking I had misread. This book contained many of these. For example:
Two farmers on their way to market early in the morning in 1920s France would not be riding on a train (they'd have a cart or wagon), and would not be heading from Monte Carlo out to the countryside but rather the other way around.
A client at a posh hotel in Monte Carlo would not be rudely treated by the front desk because when checking in he was wearing a worn suit. They would treat him like all other clients or they would refuse him service. They also would not give him a shabby room. A hotel like that has no shabby rooms.
And very distracting is when, at the end, one of the two main characters in the book is misnamed. If that was intentional, I can’t imagine what the purpose could have been.
But despite such annoyances, I enjoyed the book. Although the story wasn’t particularly plausible, it was still good fun.

A lightweight story of an American woman living in London who comes across a 1960's guide to being elegant and how she uses and misuses the guidance to direct her life.
Guess I'm just tired of books that bounce back and forth between different generations.
