LYNETTE HOPKIN , an author and artist born in the idyllic Caribbean island of Grenada , travelled extensively and lived in several countries before settling in Montreal , Canada . She spent three years in Malaysia with her husband , Michael , exploring the magical lands of Southeast Asia . Her journeys inspired her to write a travel memoir that transports readers to her favourite exotic places and shares the joys and tribulations of living as an expat in distinct societies .
' A Grenadian in Asia ' is Lynette ’ s account of her exciting and humorous adventures across seven Asian countries . Her stories make us feel the wonderment of discovering new cultures and alert us to the hidden dangers that lie in unfamiliar territories . Between her trips to magnificent temples and breathtaking landscapes , Lynette tells us of coming face-to-face with a peeping Tom in an eight-storey apartment window ; an attempted airport taxi abduction ; and a spinechilling handbag drug plant . Her book is a cocktail of fun , thrills , tales of survival , and reflections that concludes with a foreshadowing letter to a friend , penned in 2003 during the SARS scare , a time when the world could not imagine the pandemic that would break in 2020 .
