""You'd better run-they're going to kill you!""

'I seemed to spend a lot of my time in Africa running from things. Not only thieves, mobs, wild elephants, and crazy truck drivers-but myself.' RR

1994. Unnerved by the realisation she was being sucked into a life of Sunday afternoons mowing the lawn, 25 year old Australian Rosalind Redshaw set off for Africa with her boyfriend, a backpack and a foolproof plan: start in Cairo, get to the other end of the continent, any way possible. So began an extraordinary 13-month adventure beyond anything she could have imagined-one that would test her character, her relationship, her sanity.

This is the true story of an old-style journey in a time before mobile phones and the internet; a story about wild animals, witchdoctors, bicycles, and love...and the lengths a person will go to for the sake of an idea...

Reviews for A Long Way From Sunday: Memoir of an African adventure

God bless adventurers like Redshaw who push the limits... it's a book you're sorry to see end. Bob Carpenter, Netgalley Such insight, such sense of adventure, such bravery, such baring of the soul. Extraordinary. Thank you, thank you. Margie, Beta Reader. An excellently written and at times poetic account of a life-changing trip. Paul Knobloch Reader Views.
