A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When French perfumer Danielle Bretancourt steps aboard a luxury ocean liner, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever. The year is 1939, and the declaration of war on the European continent soon threatens to devastate her beloved family and young children. Traveling through London and Paris into occupied Poland, Danielle searches for the remains of her family until she is forced to flee to America. Gathering the fragments of her impoverished family, Danielle begins life anew in 1940s Los Angeles. Through determination and talent, she pursues work as a perfumer and fashion designer to Hollywood elite. Through it all, the men she loves suffer mounting losses. As the war continues to rage around the world, Danielle aids the French Resistance in its quest for freedom, and continues the search for her lost son, Nicky. Can Danielle and her family overcome the devastation that haunts their life? Set between privileged lifestyles and gritty realities, SCENT OF TRIUMPH is one woman’s story of courage, spirit, and resilience. REVIEWS: “Jan Moran is the new queen of the epic romance.” - USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster, Author of Expert Witness “SCENT OF TRIUMPH offers action, suspense and romance as it follows its intrepid heroine through the turbulent years of World War II, from the depths of tragedy to the heights of success. Fragrance lovers will enjoy the skillful way in which scent is woven into the story...and how the heroine’s experiences are filtered through her highly refined sense of smell.” - Nancy Arnott, A&E Television Networks “[A] historical fiction carried by a complex, resourceful heroine with a nose for business.” - Kirkus Reviews “Filled with love, loss, struggle, triumph. Moran writes in such a way that you will feel as if you were transported back to the era. Her characters are well developed. Very unique, an enjoyable read.” - Rebecca’s Reads Review “I absolutely loved this story!” - Carrie, a reader from Goodreads “SCENT OF TRIUMPH is a rich tapestry that weaves fragrance into an already compelling story of love and perseverance during WWII. Jan's skillful writing, combined with her wealth of olfactory knowledge, makes this a great read for all, but especially the perfume enthusiast.” - Karen Adams, Sniffapalooza “When you lose everything, one must embrace. SCENT OF TRIUMPH follows the struggles of Danielle Bretancourt von Hoffman, who following the Second World War [attempts] to find her place in society, and finds her talent of identifying any scent on her own; she uses those talents to build her way up through the fashion world and Hollywood. Drawing heavily on the author's own experience, SCENT OF TRIUMPH has a dedicated look into the history of the world of fashion, recommended.” - Midwest Book Review FROM THE AUTHOR: “SCENT OF TRIUMPH was inspired by my love of perfumery and history. In writing, I drew upon my own family history and my mother's memories of World War II, imagining a young entrepreneur whose talent, determination, and fearlessness catapult her to the pinnacle of success, despite mounting personal tragedies and the elusiveness of love.” Follow or contact Jan at www.janmoran.com, and on twitter @janmoran.
