We would like to introduce you to Jan Moran, whose upcoming book highlights her extraordinary knowledge on
perfuming, keen eye for romance, and ability to tell a sweeping historical debut
with a unique angle.
Though there have been many World War II stories told, SCENT OF TRIUMPH (St. Martin’s Griffin;
March 31) tells the story from the
eye of a French perfumer, Danielle Bretancourt, whose beloved family is
scattered across many countries. Traveling through London and Paris into
occupied Poland, Danielle searches desperately for the remains of her family.
Ultimately, she is forced to gather the fragments of her impoverished family and
flee to America, where she vows to begin life anew, in 1940s Los
Angeles.
There, through determination and talent, she rises from meager jobs in her quest for success as a perfumer and fashion designer to Hollywood elite. Set between privileged lifestyles and gritty realities, Scent of Triumph is one woman’s story of courage, spirit, and resilience.
