I picked this book up when I was in London and had I known then that this author's books are out of print in the US, I would've picked up the rest because she's a great writer. Tansy is struggling with addictions of her own and, after her mother dies, she decides to travel around Asia for a while. At first Tansy is a superficial twit but as her travels expose her to the "real world" and she is away from the influence of her old friends and lovers, she begins to change. There is this secondary storyline about backpackers being murdered that I thought took away from the story and could've been dropped all together.
