Publishers Description: Shirley recounts her experiences good and bad in what was then a rapidly developing nation under the iron-fisted rule of President Suharto. While the political tensions did not impinge greatly on her daily existence, she witnessed bureaucratic corruption and the often brutal reality of life under a military dictatorship, brought home to her during visits to a womens political prison. The final years of Shirleys Indonesian experience were spent on what should have been the idyllic holiday island of Bali. But the triumph of establishing a thriving pub business and building her dream house was overshadowed by black magic, betrayal and death.
