Description
Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence returns with her third and most ambitious memoir, a chronicle of her journey across Great Britain.
We’re a long way from ‘nearly there’, the path winds higher and higher, until it almost disappears…
As the fracture lines between nations grow ever wider, how do we relate to each other, to the land on which we live and the world around us? Are we united enough to see protection of the natural environment as a priority?
These are the questions Raynor asks herself as she embarks on her most ambitious walk to date with her husband Moth – from the dramatic beauty of the Cape Wrath Trail in the north-west corner of Scotland, to the familiar territory of the South-west Coast Path.
Chronicling her journey across Great Britain with trademark luminous, exquisite prose, Raynor maps not only the physical terrain, but also captures the collective consciousness of a country facing an uncertain path ahead.
