Synopsis
In 1999, Lucy Irvine took her three children to the farthest corner of the Solomons to live for a year on remote Pigeon Island. The invitation came from an intrepid 80-year-old, Diana Hepworth, who set sail from England in search of a faraway paradise. This work tells of both their experiences.

From the Publisher
Seventeen years after the events described in Castaway, Lucy Irvine was traveling again. With her three sons, she went to live for a year on remote Pigeon Island in the farthest corner of the Solomons. The invitation had come from eighty–year–old former VOGUE model Diana Hepworth, who, in 1947, set sail from England on a hazardous journey to find a far–flung paradise where she and her husband could raise a family. Faraway is the tale of two worlds in which tragedy, heroism, joy and regret combine in one remarkable story.
About the Author
Lucy Irvine was born on 1 February 1956 in Whitton, Middlesex. She ran away from school very early and had no full-time education after the age of thirteen. She has been employed as a charlady, monkey- keeper, waitress, stonemason's mate, life model, pastry-cook and concierge as well as having worked with disabled people and as a clerk at the Inland Revenue. She is the author of one novel, One is One, as well as Castaway and an account of her early years, Runaway. Faraway, her latest book, is her account of her year spent on a remote island in the Solomons. She has three sons and lives in the Highlands of Scotland.
