Island, Between the Desert and the Deep Blue Sea by Robyn Röhm

Description

Secondhand Paperback in Good Condition

This unique, true story is adapted from the extensive personal journals kept by the newly married Robyn Rohm while living on Bird island off South Africa’s east coast.

During three years that spanned South Africa’s first democratic elections, she and her husband Sean retreated from society to follow their dreams, reassess their lives and work in marine conservation.

This is a story of adventure, of personal transformation – in turns hilarious and heartbreaking, of caring for the environment and of love.

Robyn Rohm was born in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. She studied and has worked in the field of conservation and environmental education in various localities. In the mid-nineties she and her husband, Sean, went to live on Bird Island in Algoa Bay. Her home now is the village of Morgan Bay, on the wild coast of South Africa’s Eastern Cape province.
