It’s 1989, and Emma and her best friend Dee head to the USA to make their fortune.

This never happened to Jack Kerouac.A startlingly honest and ridiculously funny book, I Left My Tent in San Francisco tells the miraculous story of how the hapless pair made it back alive to tell the disastrous tale.]]>
