Castaway by Lucy Irvine, 288 pages

This is the true story of a woman who replied to an ad looking for a "wife on a deserted island for a year". Lucy responded and ended up spending a year on Tuin, a small island north of Australia, marrying Gerald, fellow castaway to fulfill a requirement insisted upon by the Australian government. They came very close to starvation, dehydration, and even death, but also got to experience stuff that very few white people would ever get to. This wasn't a bad read at all.
