Could you survive on a desert island? Award-winning writer Francesca de Tores did just that - except it was by choice, doing research for her new book, Cast Away. She put herself in the shoes of marooned Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk (the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe) who was abandoned by his own shipmates on a remote, uninhabited island with only wild goats and cats for company. Cast Away asks the question - who are you when everything is stripped away? Francesca tells Susie what the experience taught her about herself.
