Sumptuous. . . . A story of first love, obsession, youthful sexuality and coming of age. --The Washington Post To give away the twists and turns in Scent of Darkness . . . would certainly be unfair, for Scent of Darkness is thoroughly engrossing. --The New York Journal of Books Boys, you give them your heart and they just want to sniff your blood. --Entertainment Weekly Berwin's prose is poetic and measured, and her enchanting novel will leave readers searching for a scent of their own. --Amber Peckham, Booklist Berwin's Creole-flavored romance . . . will provide plenty of pleasure to readers who enjoy a touch of magical realism in their fiction.
