Third book in the series follows Radha. She is 32 and living in Paris with her husband and 2 daughters, working as a perfumiest. She has long since pushed down the feelings of leaving the baby boy she gave birth to a lifetime ago but once a year on his birth day, she cannot. Her work consumes her and she finds great joy in the gift of scent and creating them for clients and she is very good at it. But her husband does not understand her need to work and her oldest daughter is the very spitting image of her temperament when Radha was younger too, which Radha doesn't understand as she has given her daughters a life so very different from her upbringing. Tasked with her first major project, she travels to India for inspiration and to make her stand out as a perfumiest. However when she is there something will happen that will change her life forever - her past will finally meet her straight in the eye.
Had to finish this trilogy. And while I am glad I did and have gained the insight of Radha from a grown up perspective, I can't say that I was blown away with this last novel. I might have enjoyed her second one more. I don't regret reading this however as I enjoyed revisiting characters and watching them in the grown state.
