Publisher Description

Erica Bauermeister, the national bestselling author of The School of Essential Ingredients, presents a moving and evocative coming-of-age novel about childhood stories, families lost and found, and how a fragrance conjures memories capable of shaping the course of our lives.

Emmeline lives an enchanted childhood on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in the drawers that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world--a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity, a quest that challenges the limits of her heart and imagination.

Lyrical and immersive, The Scent Keeper explores the provocative beauty of scent, the way it can reveal hidden truths, lead us to the person we seek, and even help us find our way back home.

Melodic and transformative

A haunting tale with gorgeous prose and descriptives. I was drawn in an enveloped by the story as it was woven. Beautifully done.

Needed a good adult read! ,

Amazing!

Beautifully told story, so we’ll crafted! After finishing the book, I walked into an antique store and the scents spoke to me! Loved it!

Impeccable

Get ready to inhale everything!! I wish there was more to the ending. I feel like I didn’t get the closure I needed. The writing is impeccable. It was like when she described scents, I could actually smell it! I’m totally reading this again!
