Raynor Winn’s three books follow a chronological thread. The Salt Path tells the story of how she and her husband Moth walked the South West Coast Path after losing their home and farm. The Wild Silence picks up where that journey ended, as they try to rebuild their lives. Landlines takes them on another long walk, this time through the spine of England.
Each book stands on its own as a piece of nature writing, but the emotional core is the ongoing story of Winn and Moth’s relationship and his battle with a degenerative brain condition. The writing is grounded and unsentimental, and the landscapes she describes feel lived-in rather than picturesque.
