The story of the war on cancer spans centuries and continents. Its casualties number in the hundreds of millions – nearly one in two men, and one in three women will fight cancer directly nearly all of us will feel its collateral damage. Fought with razor-sharp scalpals, invisible rays, and lethal poisons, its battlegrounds are deep within the human cell. It is the longest running war in human history. If we seek immortality, then so, too, in a rather perverse sense, does the cancer cell. Malignant growth and normal growth are so genetically intertwined that unbraiding the two is one of the most significant scientific challenges faced by our species. Cancer is built into us: the genes that unmoor normal cell division are not foreign to our bodies but rather mutated, distorted versions of the very genes that allow us to grow, to adapt, to recover, to repair – to live. The idea of having a secret history of a character “told” in three perfumes was one I found interesting. I had the idea that perfume itself tells a story that it can represent very vividly and completely, a certain period in a person’s life and that to smell it again, even years later, would tap into those memories and realities. Q: What inspired the idea of perfume? And did it require a bit of research?Ī: I’ve wanted to write a story using perfume for a while because everyone has experience of it. Tessaro shared with me information of how “The Perfume Collector came to be and what’s next for the author: The reader gets to know an unforgettable cast of characters as they try to solve a mystery along with the main character, Grace. Like the book’s cover art, the story is also beautiful and unique. This historical novel offers a glimpse into the world of perfumers and the unforgettable power of scent. The novel is told through two separate stories that travel through New York, Paris, the beaches of Monte Carlo and England, and eventually come together for a dramatic ending. Kathleen Tessaro transports readers to London 1955 in her fifth novel, “The Perfume Collector,” during an era of strict etiquette and image. |
