Fishnets in the Far East by Michele E Northwood

The Memoir with a real kick

Set in 1989, a year after the Olympic Games in South Korea, this is the true story of Michele, a young dancer, whose na ve dream of working in the Far East quickly turns into a nightmare.

Signing a six-month contract, she is whisked off to the other side of the world where she finds herself in a host of situations which she is ill-equipped to deal with. Dancing her way across Korea in a trio with Louise and Sharon, she is propositioned by the Mafia, turned away by the British Embassy, caught in a student riot, and taken to Korean brothels to name but a few of her ordeals and adventures.

Both shocking and humorous, this Double Award Winning Memoir takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as you follow the life of a timid young girl, to see if she will be strong enough to find her voice and learn to stand up for herself in a male-orientated world of alcohol, sex and seedy nightclubs.
