Two characters with two stories and although you don't know their connection until the end, they are seamless. Usually when there are two different stories going on I tend to favor one over the other, but in this book I loved both equally. Grace is sent on an adventure as she inherits an apartment and shares from an unknown woman, as her marriage isn't on the ups she decides to go and check it out on her own. Eva is the woman who leaves her everything and her story unfolds while Grace is learning it.

The things that made me sit and read this book in two sittings - settings (Paris, New York, London) all were described with just perfect words, characters - I loved the mystery of them and how they each had their own story, and finally the perfume - the words the author used to describe how perfume was created, bottled and so on was just fantastic.
