Annabelle Thong
Devout Catholic schoolteacher, Annabelle Thong, never thought her chastity was a liability—until she runs away to Paris to find Prince Charming.
Enroling herself at the Sorbonne, she meets the suave Patrick Dudoigt, but he’s the one temptation she MUST resist. Annabelle’s belief system is challenged on all fronts, and her naïveté is seen as gauche in the City of Love. Guilt and confusion make for dangerous bedfellows, and when her fellow university students enthusiastically combine reading and rioting, Annabelle can’t help but wonder if everyone’s gone mad—or is it just her?
Annabelle Thong takes a hilarious look at the sparks that fly when East meets West, and the passions these ignite

Author : Imran Hashim
Imran Hashim fell in love with France a little late in life (in his teens) but made up for it by studying French with a vengeance at university, and then going on to the Sorbonne and Sciences Po Paris for postgraduate studies. Apart from providing the inspiration for his first novel, his time in Paris was a period of self-discovery, chief amongst which was an undying love for pear tarts with chocolate bits inside.
