A life of almost constant travelling followed.

Davidson threw bombs over her shoulder and seeds into her future on the assumption that something would be growing when she got there. The only terrain she had no interest in exploring was the past. In 'Unfinished Woman' Davidson turns at last to explore that long avoided country.
