The Library of Flowers by L.C. Chu ~ a Review

by MK French


The Hua women create magical perfumes, and every fifth generation, an eldest daughter can summon true love. Lucy is a fifth-generation daughter, but when her magic failed, she fled Vancouver. Years later, she runs a tiny perfume shop tucked away in Toronto's Kensington Market, keeping her past behind her. A death in the family brings her home again, and she inherits the centuries-old Hua family register, brimming with secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths. As she begins working her way through stories about past generations, she begins to wonder if her magic was truly gone, or simply waiting for her to decide for herself what it means to be a daughter of the House of Hua.
