Description
PRE-ORDER THE FOURTH BOOK FROM RAYNOR WINN, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SALT PATH
Award-winning nature writer Raynor Winn laces up her walking boots once more, heading north to complete the Coast to Coast Walk - but this time she is on the path alone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raynor Winn is at the start of another walk, about to embark on the Coast to Coast route, across the north of England, in the depths of winter. She should be with her husband Moth, but after forty-five years of walking hand in hand, a setback in his health has put Raynor here alone.
As she makes her way across boggy moorland and snowy fells, she replays in her mind the events that led her to flee, and the emotional pull that has drawn her back to the path, like a migratory bird on a journey for survival.
Faced with turbulent weather, impassable routes and her own inner turmoil, Raynor looks to nature for the strength to grapple with Moth's absence and to calm her overwhelming anxiety about the future. Can she find the renewed peace and hope that previous journeys have yielded? And will Moth find the strength to walk beside her once again?
