Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In nineteenth-century France, a young woman with a magical sense of taste saves a duc from poison, and her new role as poison taster thrusts her into the world of the nobility, where secrets and danger lurk around every corner.Minha is born on the backstreets of late nineteenth-century London, the daughter of an Indian spice merchant and an English prostitute. She has a remarkable gift: an incredible sense of taste. She can taste the earth in which potatoes were grown or the tree on which fruits have ripened. She can smell each ingredientand identify a single false note. But Minhas gift and her mixed-race heritage provoke mistrust and rejection, even within her own family. Escaping alone to France, Minha chances upon work in the Chateau de Bellefalaise, where for the first time her strange abilities are lauded. As official poison taster for Duc Nicolas, Minha must taste every morsel of food that will pass his lips. Others in the household are hostile to her, but when she discovers a man hiding in the stables, their unexpected meeting turns into the first true connection shes felt since arriving in France.But mystery and paranoia continue to swirl around the chateau, with the Ducs poisoner unidentified and antagonism toward Minha growing. She knows its only a matter of time before fingers begin pointing her way. Will she run again, or is this the time to stand and fight?A thoroughly addictive novel about food, possession, race, love, and a young woman fighting to build a fulfilling life against all odds, this is a gorgeously written debut by author Catherine Kurtz.
