BOOKS FROM UNITED KINGDOMThe Salt Path
by Raynor Winn
Description:
In one devastating week, Raynor and her husband Moth lost their home of 20 years, just as a terminal diagnosis took away their future together. With nowhere else to go, they decided to walk the South West Coast Path- a 630-mile sea-swept trail from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. This ancient, wind-battered landscape strips them of every comfort they had previously known. With very little money for food or shelter, Raynor and Moth carry everything on their backs and wild camp on beaches and clifftops. But slowly, with every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, the walk sets them on a remarkable journey. They don't know how far they will travel, but - to their surprise - they find themselves on a path to freedom. The Salt Pathis an unflinchingly honest, inspiring, and life-affirming true story about coming to terms with grief and the healing power of nature. Ultimately, it is a book about home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected of ways.

A wonderful true story about a middle aged couple becoming homeless and deciding to walk the coastline of Cornwall. It highlights their journey and the immense love of each other and of nature. It is a beautiful tale of endurance. A beautiful read.
