Review
A strong, salty fresh book by an original and individual young woman ... This will rank among the best of the books of exploration and travel and, like them, is a record of self-discovery and self-proving (Doris Lessing)
An absorbing record of human endeavour and courage, a vivid picture of an extraordinary country by a perceptive and sensitive observer, and the story of an inner journey, of "shedding burdens" (Sydney Morning Herald)
It gets to the heart of landscape and solitude and becomes a venture to the interior of more than one dimension as its author approaches the hinterland of her own thorny psyche (Observer)
As eccentric, undisciplined, flashily brilliant and pig-headed as its author ... Ms Davidson is a born writer, her book deeply moving (Daily Telegraph)
Vivid and vivacious ... Davidson is as natural a writer as she is an adventurer (New Yorker)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foredges have some sunning and foxing spots. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good. When Robyn Davidson first set out to make her journey across the deserts of Australia, alone but for her dog and four camels, she was called a lunatic, a would-be suicide, and a shameless publicity seeker. But this high-spirited, engrossing book reveals that she is something more: a genuine traveller driven by a love of Australia's landscape, empathy for its Indigenous people, and a willingness to cast away the trappings of her former identity.
