About Face

About Face takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride as it reveals the trials, tribulations and highlights of well-meaning but naive expats. They flip-flop from being thrilled with their new life in Thailand in the late 1970s to terror as they find themselves trapped by people in situations that spin out of kilter.

Thought-provoking concepts lie beneath the froth of adventures as 'face'/pride/honour and luck manipulate the family's life and demonstrate what can go horribly wrong when control is lost in a foreign country.
