Love, Life & Lemongrass - Zoe Hammonds

"Love, Life & Lemongrass" is a short tale of Red, a 25-year-old girl travelling alone through Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The book is a purposefully muddled collection of story telling, diary entries and film script all set against the breathtaking backdrop of South East Asia. The author has produced a unique blend of vivid descriptions--of squat toilets, a drug induced night at the infamous Full Moon Party, the sight of a woman struck dead by a coconut--with Asian myths, romantic fantasy and humorous, erratic ramblings.

This is a must read for anybody who has been or has ever dreamed of visiting South East Asia.
