THE SCENT KEEPER.
Erica Bauermeister, the national bestselling author of The School of Essential Ingredients, presents a moving and evocative coming-of-age novel about childhood stories, families lost and found, and how a fragrance conjures memories capable of shaping the course of our lives.
I enjoyed this book but it wasn’t unputdownable. The machine produces “scent-papers” that her father stashes inside small glass bottles, each paper preserving a one-of-a-kind scent. Thought-provoking themes include father/daughter relationships, loyalty, trust, sacrifice, secrets, and coming of age. This author writes as though she is painting an exquisite story but in this one she dropped the ball and left me feeling cheated. All she has to do is to take her father’s advice: follow her nose, and then get out of its way. Emmeline lives in a great world for a while until the time comes when she realizes things that her father has told her are not true.
The two of them capture scents with a magical machine that her father uses. "The Scent Keeper" follows Emmeline, a little girl who lives alone with her father on an island. It invokes longing or revulsion. Our payment security system encrypts your information during transmission.

ISBN A really lovely book that you won't want to put down once you get into it. At first, it’s not entirely clear why the duo lives in such isolation; the dad’s explanations to his daughter about their circumstances are gauzily metaphoric, and she finds it perfectly plausible that mermaids have parties that send “gifts”—like clothes, and even a goat—in their direction. After realizing the importance of fragrance and that there are people who are talented enough to smell emotions and communicate thru scent, I was looking forward to a convincing conclusion but it simply wasn't there.

I highly recommend it." Brilliant book and I highly recommend it, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2020. The Scent Keeper follows Emmeline as she grows up on a remote island with only her father and their mysterious scent-papers to keep her company. Not too much to say except this latest by Bauermeister is pretty dry.

The part Emmeline spends on the island with her father, the time she spends with Henry and Claudia living in The Cove, and the time she spends in the big city (which I think is Vancouver) hunting for Fisher and her mother.

I highly recommend The Scent Keeper, and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I think that the problem is that once you move the story away from the Island that Emmeline and her father live the story gets bogged down rather quickly. •
