An excellent copy of this book. The covers are uncreased. 343 tight, clean pages. ---- Castaway was Lucy Irvine's bestselling true story of a year spent on a desert island. This book is the astonishingly powerful and candid account of her life that led to that time. Her refusal to conform, from an early age, pitched her into unusual and sometimes shattering experiences - hitchhiking around Europe, a violent rape, a painful love affair - that were to push her to the limits of endurance. This remarkable book is both the compulsive story of a young girl's stormy passage to maturity and a desperate search for sexual identity after violation. It is an unflinching record of courage, honesty, rebellion and survival - and the price that can be paid for true independance.
