THE FRENCH PERFUMER
The French Perfumer is a charming story set in the 1950s on the French Riveria and will appeal to readers of The Little Paris Bookshop and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Shorthand typist required by English speaker in the South of France. Live-in, full board plus salary commensurate with experience.
In 1956, an unworldly young Englishwoman arrives on the Cote d’Azur to take up a secretarial role and finds herself drawn into an extraordinary situation. Initiated into the sensuous world of perfume, she falls in with glamorous wealthy aristocrats but soon realises nothing is quite what it seems.
Beneath the glittering surface there lie dark secrets. None more intriguing that those of her mysterious employers. With each new discovery, she becomes more deeply entangled in their predicament.
Amanda Hampson grew up in rural New Zealand. She spent her early twenties travelling, finally settling in Australia in 1979 where she now lives in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Writing professionally for more than 20 years she has had numerous articles and two non-fiction books published. Amanda’s debut novel, The Olive Sisters, sold more than 20,000 copies in Australia and New Zealand, with film optioned by Fred Schepisi (Six Degrees of Separation, Roxanne, The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith). Amanda has been working with Mr Schepisi on the screenplay and you can see how that has influenced her writing of The French Perfumer.
