THE NEW YORK TIMES BETSELLING TRILOGY

"Captivated me from the first chapter to the final page."—Reese Witherspoon

"Powerful and evocative.” —Kate Quinn

The Henna Artist
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK
Vivid and compelling, The Henna Artist opens a door into a world that is at once lush and fascinating, stark and cruel. Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist—and confidante—to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own. Years later, she is confronted by her husband who has tracked her down with a high-spirited young girl in tow—a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened.

The Secret Keeper of Jaipur
It’s the spring of 1969 and Lakshmi now directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik, her protégé, has finished his private school education, and at twenty, he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema. Malik soon finds that power and money move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried. When the cinema’s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, blame is placed where it is convenient. But Malik suspects something far darker and sets out to uncover the truth.

The Perfumist of Paris
Paris, 1974. Radha, Lakshmi's younger sister, is living in Paris with her husband and their two daughters, to whom she is devoted, when she finally discovers her passion—the treasure trove of scents. She has an exciting and challenging position working for a master perfumer, helping to design completely new fragrances for clients and building her career one scent at a time. She only wishes Pierre could understand her need to work. She feels his frustration, but she can’t give up this thing that drives her. Tasked with her first major project, Radha travels to India, where she enlists the help of her sister, Lakshmi, and the courtesans of Agra—women who use the power of fragrance to seduce, tease and entice. She’s on the cusp of a breakthrough when she finds out a secret she's kept from her husband for years is about to be revealed, upending her carefully managed world and threatening to destroy a vulnerable marriage.

About India, the Henna artist business.Living in the mountains and the Parfumebusiness in Paris. Sometimes I was a bit annoyed by the charakter of Rata but I liked the hole trilogie very much.

Everything was interessting

The stories in Book 1 and 3 were absolutely wonderful, vivid, and truly engaging, making it an exciting read from start to finish. However, Book 2 fell a bit short in comparison. The pacing wasn’t as thrilling, and unfortunately, the narrator’s voice took some getting used to, which, for me, I never quite managed. This detracted from the overall experience, leaving the sequel feeling somewhat underwhelming.

Book1&3 were amazing

Excellent

Ich habe Lakshmi, Ratha und Malek über die drei Bände ins Herz geschlossen. Jeder Charakter entwickelt sich und reift. Es gibt interessante Einblicke in die indische Gesellschaft, die Bedeutung von Henna Malerei und die Kunst, Parfüm zu kreieren. So viele sinnliche Eindrücke hellen den grauen Winter auf. Band 2, in dem es hauptsächlich um Malek geht, ist wie ein Krimi.
Sehr empfehlenswert!

Liebenswerte Charaktere und exotisches Ambiente
