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
"but the narrative often lacks a compass."
"But where The Salt Path stayed on a relatively narrow but propulsive narrative track, The Wild Silence roams further afield."
"We see her embrace change, from self-imposed isolation and total emotional reliance on Moth to embracing new possibilities."
"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."
"'What happened to Moth?' ..."
"Readers will delight in Winn's account here of falling in love with Moth."
"a powerful memoir about overcoming life's obstacles ..."
