Idk if it was psychic predestination but I wore Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir (Patchouli perfume) for a long time and didn’t know it. And then I read Perfume and Pain a while back and the lesbian love interest is a PATCHOULI-PERFUME-WEARING NEXTDOOR NEIGHBOR!!
Just finished Honest Hearts. I appreciated it in a subtextually about colonialism and the removal of indigenous peoples from their homes. Like of course the religious peoples are imposing their way of life onto vulnerable populations
