The Scent of Love

For Mohammed Amitri, recently graduated as a Doctor of Physics, his return home from France in 1938 should be a time of limitless promise — wanting only an enduring love to make it complete. But when Mohammed and Shamsi are brought together, the future arrives, still-born, in a match of two hearts that can never unite. In 2009 no one answers the door of a flat in an apartment block in Fifth Avenue, off Ghandi Street, from this one event, Lily Monadjemi crafts a tale of love and darkness of the soul that alternates between crime thriller and the tragedy, the consequences of when 'The Scent of Love' is lost.
