The Orchard is one of the books I borrowed from the library a few days ago. It turned out to be pretty much a romance novel. Not that I have anything against a good romance, but it was kind of predictable. The interesting part about the book though that kept me going, was the background topic of the world of fragrance. It gave me a little peek into the world of chemistry and figuring out the scents and tastes that sell the products we buy. There was a very fragrant apple intertwined in the story too. I enjoyed all the descriptions of the clothes the main character wore, the foods she ate, how she noticed the fragrance of everything around her. You might like it too. I read it in less than 24 hours. I have almost finished reading The Pleasure Palace by Kate Emerson. It's interesting, along the lines of the Phillipa Gregory novels I enjoy so much, just not as good.
