About This Book
The incredible follow-up to the international bestseller The Salt Path, a story of finding your way back home. Nature holds the answers for Raynor and her husband Moth. After walking 630 homeless miles along The Salt Path, living on the windswept and wild English coastline; the cliffs, the sky and the chalky earth now feel like their home. Moth has a terminal diagnosis, but together on the wild coastal path, with their feet firmly rooted outdoors, they discover that anything is possible. Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits and they come back to four walls, but the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult - until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything. A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills; rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows becomes their saving grace and their new path to follow. The Wild Silence is a story of hope triumphing over despair, of lifelong love prevailing over everything. It is a luminous account of the human spirit's connection to nature, and how vital it is for us all.
Reviews
"Once again, Winn's connection to nature and to Moth are at its heart ..."
"A must-read for lovers of the first book; fans of nature writing should also check this out."
"Written in the same lushly descriptive, emotive vein, this sequel conveys how their experience—and her book about it—changed their lives."
"This powerful narrative proves the resilience of the human spirit and stuns with its grace."
"Forced to confront mortality wherever she turns, her prose is extraordinary: wise, unflinching, exquisite ..."
"A memorable celebration of a 'silent enmeshing of lives lived in unison,' a potent marriage of heart and mind."
"This is a perfect 'what happened next' memoir that gives closure to readers of the first book, and which both fans and new readers will enjoy."
