Reviews
"Patel has written a touching tale of one young woman's reckoning with her family's generational legacy, staying true to her roots and traditions while at the same time forging a path for herself. Full of warmth and humor, this book is recommended for all fiction collections." -- Booklist "Full of softly beautiful descriptions and remarkably rendered characters, Patel's sophomore novel grapples with familial pressures and legacies. It's a sensual read, full of details pertaining not only to scents, as might be expected, but also to foods and visual descriptors." --BookRiot.com Praise for The Candid Life of Meena Dave Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Finalist A Texas Library Association 2023 Lariat Adult Fiction Selection "A thoroughly entertaining rendition of one woman's search for belonging." -- Kirkus Reviews "Full of lively characters who will win readers' hearts and keep them thinking long after the book is finished, this book is a genuine, charming debut. Long-buried secrets and a journey of self-discovery will keep the pages turning." -- Booklist "[A]n inherently fascinating and impressively scripted novel..." -- Midwest Book Review "Namrata Patel's debut is a delightful exploration of identity, community, and growth. I was drawn into Meena Dave's captivating journey from the first pages and was rooting for her until the end. This poignant and witty story is perfect for book clubs!" --Saumya Dave, author of Well-Behaved Indian Women

Synopsis
A perfumer in Paris is forced to return to her California roots in an exhilarating novel about family, self-discovery, and taking risks by the author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave . The daughter of proud Napa Valley hoteliers, Asha "Poppy" Patel chose a different line as a Paris perfumer, gifted with a nose for fragrances and business. Until her heightened sense of smell disappears. Her career in jeopardy, her world now muted, Poppy returns home. Maybe tending to her grandmother's massive aromatic garden, where Poppy's gift first flowered, will bring restorative hope. But when she arrives, Poppy discovers that the land upon which the beautiful garden once thrived has been uprooted and destroyed. She realizes that the years she spent away from her home have loosened so many ties with the past. Torn between a mother who lives vicariously through her and a father who wants her to embrace her family's legacy, Poppy is determined to chart her own path of rediscovery. Poppy must juggle family drama, childhood friendships, and a former love to forge a future of her own choosing and, in time, heal an unscented life.
