APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a sudden tragedy reveals the truth about Grace’s controlling husband, the dedicated Sydney mother and housewife must set a bold new course in life. Taking up a promising job opportunity at a luxury hotel in Bali, Grace learns about another woman who found renewed purpose in the island destination. Inspired by the real-life story of K’Tut Tantri, the Scottish-born artist and fighter for Indonesian independence, Grace finds the strength to move forward and even take another chance on love. Sprinkled with short passages from Revolt in Paradise, Tantri’s 1960 memoir, The Last Paradise is a heartening drama about starting over, with veteran author Di Morrissey expertly capturing Bali’s lush natural splendour.
