Basically, I'm looking for a book with the vibe of Perfume, that manages to be both immersive in the past and make it feel modern at the same time. Lurid prose is a plus, as it taking place pre-1900s. Pretty much any period between ancient times and the Victorian Era (which I have less much interest in just cause I've already read a ton of historical fiction about it.) And of course, I really love the magical realism and the light speculative element of that book in general.
