Summary

‘When I flew to Bali on 8 October 2004, I imagined my biggest problem was going to be deciding which sarong to wear with which bikini . . .’ It was meant to be a holiday. A two-week break to a tropical paradise to celebrate a sister’s birthday. But for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare. Arrested at Denpasar airport after marijuana was found in her boogie-board bag, she had become the real-life victim of every traveller’s darkest fear. Over four kilograms of drugs had been placed in her bag after she’d checked it in. Though completely innocent, she was forced to face the consequences of someone else’s crime in a country where the penalties for drug smuggling are among the harshest in the world. Her trial and conviction became one of the biggest news stories of the decade and her family watched in horror as she was sentenced to 20 years in jail. Yet despite the huge media coverage, the one voice the public never properly heard was Schapelle’s. Now, in this searing and utterly compelling book, she tells her own story: of being wrenched from a carefree holiday and incarcerated in a stinking police cell, of an alien legal system where her attempts to prove herself innocent were thwarted at every turn, and of learning to survive – in the squalour, discomfort and violence of an Indonesian jail, where she remains today. Schapelle’s story is an account like no other – of a young woman experiencing the unimaginable and enduring the unendurable with courage, strength and humour. It’s simply the most unforgettable book you’ll ever read.
