Description

Bring the healing and restorative power of nature into your life through this unforgettable true story, widely praised as one of the decade’s most compelling reads.

From the million-copy bestselling author Raynor Winn comes an inspirational journey filled with resilience, love and hope.

When Raynor and her husband Moth receive devastating news of his terminal illness, their situation worsens dramatically as their home is lost, along with their means of livelihood. Left with few options, they bravely and spontaneously decide to embark on a 630-mile trek along England’s wild South West Coast Path—from Somerset through Cornwall and Devon, ending in Dorset.

Carrying only bare essentials, surviving on minimal resources, and immersed in a wild landscape of ocean, cliffs and open skies, Raynor and Moth confront grief, loss and uncertainty. As they traverse stunning vistas, encounter unexpected kindness, and rise above extraordinary challenges, their journey evolves into an inspiring exploration of human endurance, resilience and healing.

“The Salt Path” is an authentically told, gloriously uplifting story of overcoming adversity, and learning how home can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in surprising ways. Ultimately, it celebrates the profound strength people find when reconnecting with the natural world.

A Sunday Times bestseller as of September 2023, winner of the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize (2018), and shortlisted for both the 2018 Costa Biography Award and the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2018, “The Salt Path” was named among the Guardian’s Best Books of Summer. Critically acclaimed, it’s been described by The Times as “the most inspirational book of this year” and praised by The Guardian as “a beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance.” Raynor Winn’s books have collectively sold over one million copies across all formats as of July 2024, according to BookScan.
