Story
Snowing in Bali is the story of the drug trafficking and dealing scene that's made Bali one of the world's most important destinations in the global distribution of narcotics. With its central location to the Asia Pacific market, its thriving tourist industry to act as cover for importation, and a culture of corruption that can easily help law enforcement turn a blind eye, Bali has long been a paradise for traffickers as well as for holiday-makers. Kathryn Bonella, best-selling author of Hotel Kerobokan, has been given extraordinary access into the lives of some of the biggest players in Bali's drug world, both past and present.

How honest her story was..
- By Anonymous User on 03-04-2024
Publisher's Summary
THE NO.1 BESTSELLER, FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED SINCE HER RELEASE AND RETURN HOME.
Schapelle Corby walked out of Kerobokan Prison in 2014, leaving behind a dark hellhole of violence, corruption and squalor, and straight into a global media circus.
She had been Hotel K's most famous inmate.
Schapelle was a 27-year-old beauty-school student when, in 2004, Bali customs officers found 4.2 kilograms of marijuana in her boogie-board bag. She was convicted of a crime she still vehemently denies committing.
She spent ten years in Hotel K, where she survived unimaginable horrors, corrupt guards, degrading conditions and abuse at the hands of other prisoners, but also, amazingly, found the love of her life - a love that still burns strong.
In this revised and updated edition of My Story, first published in 2006, Schapelle describes her descent into madness and finding her way back, the chaos of her release, the trials of surviving outside on parole and, eventually, her dramatic return to Australia, all the while hounded mercilessly by the media.
This is the first time since 2006 that Schapelle has spoken, driven by a determination to show she has emerged, scarred, but with her dignity, humour and courage intact.
Written with bestselling author Kathryn Bonella, this is a deeply unsettling but utterly compelling tale of what should have been a holiday in paradise but instead turned into 13 years of living hell.

Great narrator, and a story that will help you see the truth of what Schapelle went through, through her eyes and in great detail. It made me want to reach out and give her a big virtual hug. A heartbreaking experience and I wish her the happiest life ever from here on out.

Answered so many questions. Schapelle is inspiring, what she was put through. Schapelle was treated like a criminal for a crime she did NOT do. I found her revised story, honest, raw and full of emotion. Truly a great read. Thank you

The story we never heard...until now
This book certainly made me re-consider a few thoughts about the whole situation... given like many others, we were only privvy to the details the main stream media had spoon fed us.
The insight is tough to consider...and frustrating. Did the sentence really fit the crime? Can you judge after hearing Schapelle's side? Definitely worth the listen.

Great story, poor Narrator
Was a great story, telling the main events in sequence, and using real-time examples of media used during the actual event. Very factual and evidence-based.
Only downfall was raspiness of Narrator's voice, which at times was like chalk screeching across blackboard.
