There are always two sides to every story. In last week’s episode we discussed Lucy Irvine’s 1983 memoir Castaway, about her year-long experience on a deserted island. This week, Amy turns her attention to the memoir written by Irvine’s “other half” on that adventure, Gerald Kingsland. Do the two authors’ respective accounts of their time on tropical Tuin square with one another? And how did Kingsland really feel about the beautiful young woman who answered his classified ad for a “wife?”
