Take me to Paradise

Marilyn wakes up one morning and instead of catching the bus to work, catches the “I don’t like Mondays’‚ flight to Bali. But is she too late to indulge her paradise dream?

Has post-bomb, post-Schapelle Bali, become a cliché just like Marilyn? How many western women have arrived before her and fallen headlong for the lush green island, its exotic culture and their attractive driver?

Set in the artisan hill town of Ubud, Bali, between bomb one and bomb two, Jan Cornall’s witty and insightful performance-prose novel explores notions of paradise and a modern woman’s quest for meaning and passion in a post 9/11 world.

Marilyn finds her paradise. But is she prepared for the demands paradise will make of her?
