Description

A divorced perfumer navigates an uncertain but fresh new start in life in a poignant and witty novel about self-discovery by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids. Nikki Bridges has it good. An enviable home in an upscale neighborhood, a heavenly-scented hobby making personal-blend perfumes, a cherished daughter, and comfortable rituals with a husband she loves.

How was she to know it would all blow up with her husband’s affair, a blindsiding divorce, and an identity crisis she never saw coming?With little money, less work experience, and a modest apartment, Nikki is tentatively moving on.

Along the way: a waitressing job, a bond with an empathetic group of friends, and reentering the dating game at fortysomething.

Luring her out of her funk is Niraj, an ex-Londoner with twinkling eyes and a hint of cinnamon and ginger.

For the first time in a long time, Nikki feels a warm summer flush—and with it, a spark of inspiration. On a liberating quest for self-expression and the courage to follow a dream, Nikki is blending the pieces of a new life into a fragrance that is uniquely and passionately her own. Revised edition: This edition of The Scent of Hours includes editorial revisions.
