You love memoirs about people doing genuinely difficult things, especially when they're written with honesty about the doubts and mistakes along the way.
You're drawn to stories about solitude and self-discovery that don't shy away from how hard it actually is.
You appreciate vivid writing about landscape and culture, particularly Australia and the Aboriginal perspectives woven throughout.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer adventure stories that are mostly uplifting and triumphant without the messy emotional middle bits.

You want a quick, easy read. This is beautifully written but requires patience and attention.

About this book

Robyn Davidson's true account of her solo journey across 1,700 miles of Australian outback, from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean. At age twenty-seven, Davidson set out with her dog and four camels—named Bub, Dookie, Goliath, and Zeleika—to traverse the desolate Red Centre landscape. The narrative describes Davidson's experiences during this personal pilgrimage, including her relationships with the Australian outback, aboriginal culture, a photographer she encounters, and her camels. Davidson reflects on pivotal moments in her life and the challenges of her expedition across the vast desert terrain.
