The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas – Review by Karen Pearman

The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another new author for me, I read this story because I had two friends that insisted I must read it. They told me I would love that it took place during WWII, and they know I love books with history. They were not wrong. This was a phenomenal read. I honestly did not want to put it down. The author has an amazing way of describing all the feelings and attachments going on with and around the main character. She had all my emotions going. I laughed, cried, felt angry, and struggled along with her choices and decisions. And her description of the war going on while the character was falling in love was beautiful. If war can be beautiful, this was it. And that’s hard to do with all the sadness and anger going on around you. I highly suggest you pick this book up. It’s not one to pass by.
