ABOUT THE SHOW
Join international bestseller Robyn Davidson in conversation as she delves into her latest memoir, Unfinished Woman.
In 1977, twenty-seven-year-old Robyn set off with a dog and four camels to cross 1,700 miles of Australian desert to the sea. Her remarkable adventure was chronicled in her best-selling book, Tracks.
A life of almost constant travelling followed. From the deserts of Australia, to Sydney’s underworld; from 60s street life, to the London literary scene; from migrating with nomads in Tibet, to ‘marrying’ an Indian prince, Davidson’s quest was motivated by an unquenchable curiosity about other ways of seeing and understanding the world.
In Unfinished Woman, Davidson turns at last to explore the past. Through this brave and revealing memoir, she delves into her childhood and youth to uncover the forces that set her on her path, and confront the cataclysm of her early loss.

Ms. Davidson lives in London, India, and Australia.
...the most difficult part of any endeavour is taking the first step, making the first decision.
