The subject of much debate and publicity when Castaway was first published in 1983, and immortalised in a film starring Amanda Donahoe and Oliver Reed, Irvine is now living once again on a remote island with her three children. With this in mind, anyone who read this extraordinary account when it first hit the bookstands will be able to now look back with a greater understanding of why she went in the first place. And anyone who has yet to encounter this story of a wilful yet undoubtedly damaged young woman attempting to run away from her life, but coming face to face with herself and not always liking what she sees will find Castaway as fascinating a book as they are ever likely to read, and one which has an eternal appeal for the castaway in all of us. --Susan Harrison
