Publisher's Synopsis
When a naive Australian school girl joins a dancing troupe she certainly gets more experience in real life than she bargained for. Crystal a seventeen year old schoolgirl in Suburban Australia is disenchanted with life and itching for adventure. On a whim, she bluffs her way into an audition for the the White Diamonds, a dancing troupe touring South-East Asia. Infected by the glamour of life as a showgirl, the reckless woman-child is quickly drawn to Singapore's squalid underbelly. On the run from the Singaporean police, she falls for a good-looking muso, an irresponsible bad boy, not the kind to give your heart to ... but Crystal has always made bad choices. From the nightlife of Singapore to the rain-drenched jungles of Borneo, to the world of a rich and ambitious rock star, 'The White Amah' is the story of a dark secret and the consequences when a woman's past comes back to threaten the present.
