“Robin and I”<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Robin and I is a fast-paced, darkly comic travel memoir chronicling the barely-planned journey of two 20-year-old Brits from Cowplain (there are no cows in Cowplain) to Gibraltar, Tangier and beyond in the early 1980s. Inspired by real events, it\u2019s a tale of youthful bravado, questionable decisions, and unexpected beauty \u2014 told with a sharp eye, sardonic wit, and bittersweet hindsight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
