Robyn Davidson is best known for her international bestseller Tracks, about her trek across 2700 kilometres of Australian desert in 1977. Her new memoir, Unfinished Woman, is of another journey, this time into her past. It is mostly, she says, about her mother, who died by suicide in 1961, when the author was 11 years old.
Dec 31, 2023 · The book is a cracking open of the layers of memory since then, to better understand her mother, herself and the world in which she has made her home. At 18, Davidson left rural Queensland for Sydney, where she slept in parks and fed herself by rummaging through bins.
Middle-aged Robyn openly struggles with preteen Robyn, whose life on a struggling outback homestead was by then a universe away from her incredibly migratory adulthood (Davidson has lived at more than 50 addresses all over the world).
