The Salt Path
von Raynor Winn
The uplifting true tale of the couple who lost everything and embarked on a journey of salvation across the windswept South West coastline. Now a Top Ten Sunday Times Bestseller 'The landscape is magical: shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriads of sea birds and mauve skies. Raynor writes exquisitely . . . It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything . . . home was no longer about bricks and mortar. It was a state of mind' The Sunday Times Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable journey. The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways. 'The Salt Path is a life-affirming tale of enduring love that smells of the sea and tastes of a rich life. With beautiful, immersive writing, it is a story heart-achingly and beautifully told.' Jackie Morris 'What an absolute glorious and moving book. It deserves all its praise!' Vybarr Cregan-Reid, author of Footnotes and Primate Change

Rezension von Aindrea I know there’s a lot of controversy about this book at the moment, but I’m someone who can look past these things and focus on the art. The writing was intimate and relatable. The descriptions of the path and wildlife, the little history lessons woven throughout were absorbing. I loved this book. I loved the relationship between the two main characters and the story of humans overcoming and finding their way. I’d really say this was 4.5 stars, and I only knocked one star off because I found the last 20% or so really repetitive and I was ready to be finished.
Rezension von AlinaWer selbst mal eine Weitwanderung (mit Wildcampen) unternommen hat, wird durch dieses Buch sicherlich zurückversetzt werden! In mir hat das Buch auf jeden Fall schöne Erinnerungen wiedererweckt und mir zudem noch spannende neue Perspektiven über Obdachlosigkeit und mögliche späte Neuanfänge offenbart! Raynors und Moths Geschichte ist inspirierend und macht Lust, selbst wieder den Rucksack aufzusetzen und einfach loszulaufen, auch wenn es sicherlich nicht immer einfach ist, wie es auch bei den beiden nicht immer einfach war. Phasenweise war mir das Buch jedoch ein Stück zu repetitiv und langatmig, deshalb nur vier Sterne.
