The story drew an international cult obsessed with \"Foxy Knoxy,\" a pretty honor student on a junior year abroad, who either woke up one morning into a nightmare of superstition and misogyny--the dark side of Italy--or participated in something unspeakable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fatal Gift of Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e is Nina Burleigh's literary investigation of the murder, the prosecution, and the conviction and twenty-six-year sentence of Knox. But it is also a thoughtful, compelling examination of an enduring mystery, an ancient, storied place, and a disquieting facet of Italian culture: an obsession with female sexuality.","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408592232599,"sku":"9780307588593","price":1491.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780307588593.webp?v=1767310140","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-fatal-gift-of-beauty-the-trials-of-amanda-knox-9780307588593","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
