Critics Review
From her days as a tap-dancing dinosaur in Melbourne to life in the high-stakes, adrenaline-fuelled world of musical theatre in South Korea, Five Seasons in Seoul is a sensory treat. A skilled storyteller, Newell writes with candour, humour and charm about rejection, grief, anxiety and fear - and finding yourself where you least expected.ARIANE BEESTON ‘South Korea comes to life in this story of travel and the ways it can transform us. With disarming vulnerability, Newell has captured both the joy and the pain of searching for your place in a new city.’ Rachael Coopes‘The travel memoir is fast becoming one of my favourite sub-genres, and if you’re keen to enter the same lane as me, Five Seasons in Seoul is a wonderful place to start.’ * The Australian *‘Thoroughly engaging memoir … with admirable ease, [Christine] vividly evokes the sights, tastes and feel of the city.’ * The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald *
