Book Condition: Near Fine. Paperback, First Edition, 300gms, 334pages. "I've called my book No Bed of Roses because I've had a lot of pricks in my bed in my life". No Bed of Roses is an intimate, often horrifying account of an abused girl's transformation into a powerful Madam, and the subsequent collapse of her empire. The cast of the story includes an outrageous array of prostitutes, perverts, parliamentarians, petty criminals, transvestites, lawyers, drug addicts, welfare officers, media personalities and police - straight and crooked. Patti's book is compelling reading: a landmark in the literature of Australia's underworld.
