Review:
Praise for the first edition: ‘Jeremy Seabrook is one of England’s most imaginative and creative writers, with a preacher’s talent for prophesy and a capacity for righteous indignation reminiscent of George Orwell.’ --Richard Gott, The Guardian 'It raises questions about the rights of Thai women and children and the expectations of the men who travel to the country for this service. Finally it encourages a more wide-reaching understanding of basic human rights and considers the problematic relationship between North and South.' --Oxfam Review of Journals
