Jitterbug perfume goodreads7/6/2023 He has written several interesting theories and I recall nodding in agreement to a lot of them. I really like a lot of the ideas presented in this book. I had to refer to Google and Merriam several times to completely understand the book. I didn’t know what a beet was because it is not grown here. For example, the star of the book, the beet. While this isn’t usually an issue, it was on this one because it was very detailed and descriptive and some (okay, I admit it, more than a handful) words were unfamiliar to me. As you may know now, English is not my first language. Yes, it took me almost a month to finish the book. A saga must have a hero, and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. If the liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is only a drop or two left.” – From Goodreads Synopsis: “ Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn’t conclude until nine o’clock tonight (Paris time). It is a saga, as well.
