Perfume

Patrick Süskind

Description:

"Born in sweraty-fetid eighteenth-century Paris, Grenouille is distinctive even in infancy. He has "the finest nose in Paris and no personal odour". With wit, a Gothic imagination and considerable originality, Suskind has developed this simple idea into a fantastic tale of murder and twisted eroticism controlled by a disgusted lathing of humanity...Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading'-Literary Review
