How can partners successfully change the boundaries of a marriage? Or children change the boundaries with their parents? Or friends adjust their friends adjust their friendships? How do adults overstep bitterness and forgive themselves and others for the sublimation of their dreams? Can adults balance being accountable to themselves and still be responsible for others?

This works as a stand-alone novel. Joshi fills in the backstory but not in a tedious way (Well, maybe it is for those who have read the others.)

The science of perfume making was interesting to me, but I like to get behind-the-scenes knowledge of things I had never thought about.
