Finished PEONY IN LOVE 3 days ago. Great book, but I certainly hope the Chinese AfterLife isnt really the way it is depicted in the book, eek!

I'm reading Inside Story, written by Peter Lloyd, an ABC TV (that's Australian Broadcasting Corporation) foreign correspondent who was arrested in Singapore in 2008 for possession of methamphetamine. Years of exposure to trauma and disaster as a reporter in Bali, India, suicide bombings, assassination attempts, the tsunami and the war in Afghanistan had given him Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), though he didn't know it for years until his recurring nightmares cause him to self-medicate with ice.
It's fascinating and I can hardly put it down.
Did Pigsnie ever meet him, Arch?
