'It was the land, the earth, the deep humming background to my very being'

In 2016, days before they were unjustly evicted from their home, Raynor Winn was told her husband Moth was dying.

Instead of giving up they embarked on a life-changing journey: walking the 630-mile South West Coast Path, living by their wits, determination and love of nature.

But all journeys must end and when the couple return to civilisation they find that four walls feel like a prison, cutting them off from the sea and sky that sustained them - that had saved Moth's life.

So when the chance to rewild an old Cornish farm comes their way, they grasp it, hoping they'll not only reconnect with the natural world but also find themselves once again on its healing path . . .

Recenzii

Heartening and comforting . . . The nature writing is beautiful and it is a thrill to read. You feel the world is a better place because Raynor and Moth are in it
Raynor Winn has written a brilliant, powerful and touching account of her life before and after The Salt Path, which, like her astonishing debut, will connect with anyone who has triumphed over adversity
A beautiful, luminous and magical piece of writing
Written in wise, unflinching, exquisite prose, this is a different kind of journey - into the past, into grief and also into Winn's search for connection. A spiritual journey instead of a physical one, and, for me at least, an even richer one
Deeply personal and spiritual in its exploration of the healing qualities of nature . . . Winn's writing transforms her surroundings and her spirits, her joy coming across clearly in her shimmering prose
In this unflinching sequel toThe Salt Path, nature provides solace against forebodings of mortality . . . there is a luminous conviction to the prose
To follow Raynor Winn on her songline back to Cornwall is to know how it feels to walk yourself into the land you love and find peace at the end of the journey
An uplifting, illuminating read
Winn's soul-baring honesty and beautifully remembered, touching conversations will take your breath away
Notions of home are poignantly explored . . . Her evocations of weather, landscape, the sea and her love for her partner, Moth, who has an incurable neurodegenerative condition, are wonderful
Full of descriptions of dramatic landscapes that make the reader long for the great outdoors . . . an uplifting and illuminating book
Heart-rending. A love letter to the natural world in all its wondrous glory . . . spellbinding
Explores the challenge of returning to mainstream life after homelessness
The Wild Silenceconfirms Raynor as a natural and extremely talented writer with an incredible way with words.This bookgives us all what we wanted to know at the end ofThe Salt Pathwhich is what happened next.So moving, it made me cry . . . repeatedly
This book promises to take you away with the same amazing descriptive and emotive writing found inThe Salt Path
Profoundly moving and emotionally transcendent reading
Unflinching . . . Another beautifully poignant read about triumph over adversity, and adjusting to life after immense change
Intimate in feel and ambitious in scope . . . Throughout it all [Winn] retains her faith in the importance of having an almost visceral connection to the land
This sequel sees the pair trying unsatisfactorily to readjust to normal life before finding ways to reharness nature's healing power
Moving. A must-read for anyone inspired byThe Salt Path. . . another thoughtful memoir
The quality of Winn's writing draws us through the story with the same emotional honesty, lyricism and warmth that epitomisesThe Salt Path
A poignant and passionate, grounded yet uplifting journey of discovery in which we learn what can be found after all seems lost,The Wild Silenceis a testament to the transformative power of nature and the fresh hope it nurtures within ourselves
Picks up the story where Winn's astonishingThe Salt Pathleft off
Wise, unflinching, exquisite prose
Luminous and touching
Raynor Winn's story has become the stuff of legend
Writing with such honesty is a trademark of [Winn's] style
