Lisa Louis once worked as a hostess for a while. It was quite common for foreign girls to do hostessing in the eighties and nineties. It is a hard job, especially if you want to be good at it. Louis is best when she speaks about her personal experiences as a foreigner in an unknown environment. Some of the anecdotes are rather good. However, she is a terrible writer.
