Product Description
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day.

Product Description
A fundamental book in Women's Studies Series.Yara, a Lebanese woman, describes her past and present in terms of the scents of the souks, the odors of the street, the perfumes of soap and perfume shops, the smell of her mother s cooking, the colognes of her male friends and husband. She is admittedly hypersensitive to her olfactory surroundings, and associates many of these with memories dear to her, recalling Proust s evocative madeleines. She is forbidden by her father to marry a non-Muslim, yet the memory of her Jewish first boyfriend s cologne represents the essence of sensuality for her. When she agrees to marry her Muslim cousin whose smell repulses her, to satisfy her father s wishes, she is plunged into despair and experiences a series of personal and family tragedies. When she subsequently loses her sense of smell, this becomes both a blessing and a curse, as she is content not to be plagued by some disturbing odors, but finds that memories connected to smells also begin to disappear, creating a certain loss of self. The inner monologue which documents this emotionally charged loss, also seductively evokes the Lebanese cultural context via her choice of colorful details. As she passes from a state of anosmia to dysosmia, the olfactory changes she experiences provide the impetus for this woman s efforts to save elements of her past as she situates herself in an ever-changing present context. This novel will captivate readers interested in contemporary Lebanese fiction; it illustrates how women may navigate their changing role in Lebanon, and documents the way the sense of smell is connected to memory. Its story of forbidden love also provides an excellent backdrop for a questioning of social norms and self-identity. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Self-Searching by Scent
What starts off as a woman's search for her sudden missing ability to "smell," slowly unfolds as a beautiful and penetrating search for self in present and past, via various associations with a range of scents and experiences (and love).The Middle Eastern backdrop (Lebanese) is an added cultural bonus for those of us without that first hand experience.This cultural context adds to her plight of character.
