Описание: ...an eye-opening adventure that touched me deeply...this powerful story continues to resonate in my heart long after the last page was turned. -New York Times #1 best-selling author Cheryl Richardson The Seven Perfumes of Sacrifice, Amy Logans controversial debut novel - over a decade in the making - is a womens thriller about the search for the divine feminine and the ancient lost origins of honor killing in the Middle East. In this post-9/11 cautionary tale, an American writer struggles to civilize a tiny Arab village of Israel; her intercession leads to tragedy beyond anyones calculation...and revelations that could heal what seems hopeless. American freelance journalist Fereby McCullough Jones is struggling to sell stories from Israel when she befriends Leila, a young artist in a village on Mt. Carmel. Leila is a Druze - a secretive, Arabic-speaking, thousand-year-old offshoot of Islam - and shares her double life with Fereby: Painting nudes, lovers and goddesses - taboo subjects in her culture - and selling them in Tel Aviv. When Leila becomes the possible victim of an honor killing - the murder of a female by her family for violating cultural gender norms - Fereby witnesses the village celebration, her familys silence and police indifference. Enraged, Fereby launches an investigation that is decidedly unwelcome. With her oddball translator, Moshe, she struggles to unearth Leilas traumatic life story, facing a conspiracy of silence, police and government corruption, a forbidden connection with Leilas brother, Fadi, and danger and backlash she never anticipated. After a shocking turn of events, Fereby is forced to come to terms with her own painful past thats fueling her search. Then, Leilas last series of paintings prompts Fereby and Moshe to make a surprising discovery: The ancient, lost origins of honor killing, which have been suppressed for millennia, and hold some volatile secrets. A mysterious prediction leads Fereby to Leilas killer, but it turns into her worst nightmare: To get justice for Leilas death, will Fereby have to sacrifice something even greater? What price are human rights worth fighting for? Seven Perfumes author Amy Logan discovered that just trying to discuss the issue of honor killing openly, let alone fight against it, was taboo in the cultures where it occurs. She realized that must be why this violent practice has continued unabated in some places for several thousand years. To try to understand and expose the mysterious underpinnings of honor killing, Logan landed rare homestays with the Druze in Israel and spent a decade researching and building a theory of the ancient lost origins of the practice. As she gradually uncovered a vast and true deception from the birth of honor killing, The Seven Perfumes of Sacrifice began to tell her its story... An important book with a powerful story that places the words divine and feminine back where they belong: Together. - Sherry Jones, best-selling author of The Jewel of Medina, The Sword of Medina and the forthcoming Four Sisters, All Queens ...an un-put-downable literary thriller ...The book is Logans debut, but it surely wont be her last. - Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News Book Reviewer
