About Schapelle Corby My Story
Schapelle Corby My Story, also published as No More Tomorrows, was written with Kathryn Bonella and tells the true story of Schapelle Corby’s arrest, trial and imprisonment in Bali after being convicted of drug smuggling.
“When I flew to Bali I imagined my biggest problem was going to be deciding which sarong to wear with which bikini.” —Schapelle Corby
It was meant to be a holiday – a fun-filled break in a tropical paradise to celebrate a sister’s 30th birthday. But for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare.
Arrested at Bali Airport with 4.2 kilograms of marijuana in her body-board bag, Schapelle became the real-life victim of a traveller’s darkest fear – drugs had been placed in her bag after she checked it in. She was forced to face the consequences of someone else’s crime in a country where the penalties for drug smuggling were among the harshest in the world.
In this deeply personal book, Schapelle reveals her innermost fears and hopes in the face of arrest and conviction. Her trial became one of the biggest stories of the decade in Australia, and the entire nation watched in horror as she was sentenced to twenty years in jail. In this searing and utterly compelling book she tells of being wrenched from a carefree holiday into a stinking police cell, of an alien legal system where her attempts to prove herself innocent were thwarted at every turn, and of learning to survive in the squalor and violence of a third-world jail, Kerobokan Prison, notoriously now known as Hotel K.
My Story / No More Tomorrows is an account of a young woman experiencing the unimaginable, and enduring the unendurable with courage, strength and humour. It’s simply the most unforgettable book you’ll ever read.
