50 Books 50 Countries; Book 26: Patpong Sisters by Cleo Odzer

My reading challenge 2022 is to finish 50 books that have been published/authored/set in 50 different countries. I shall post about the ones I have read, mention the country they are set in and where the author is based. Instead of a review, I shall open a random page in the book and quote a line/para. My reviews and ratings are available on Goodreads, for those who wish to know.

"I'll show you around. This is not a simple love story. The women of Patpong are expert at making foreign men go ga-ga over them. They collect marriage proposals. That's their business. The men see the beautiful poor girls supporting their families upcountry and, BOOM, they're in love, heroes saving their maidens in distress."
