Reviews
I couldn’t put it down.
Stephen Leather, Author of Private Dancer
Thai Girl has great passion for Thailand and its idiosyncracies.
Metro Magazine
The definitive novel about relationships between Thais and foreigners.
Harry Nicolaides, Author of Verisimilitude
Fon, the Thai girl, takes over the novel and makes it fly, lighting up Ben’s life and the novel itself. The physical setting and the rhythms of life in her village are beautifully observed.
James Eckardt, The Nation
