I might have enjoyed this more than the author's first book. Continuing to wrestle with the issues of life, death and trust, this book painted portraits of glorious landscapes, ramshackle farms and the freedom of the outdoors. A sadness overlayed the author for me as she continued to dismiss any higher calling or after life, just viewing things in a circular pattern. However, her narration of the book, the soft tone and the immaculate descriptions made this a really good read. It was a bit slow but having already invested in the salt path, I was more eager to find out what happened.
her conclusions of just keep fighting and exercising and walking left me a bit hesitant, as she took it up as a battle cry

This was not the book I was expecting it to be. I devoured The Salt Path in a matter of days, and needed to know what happened next. I was absolutely fascinated by the promised rewilding of a Cornish farm - but that really didn't end up being what the book was about. I didn't mind, I still thoroughly enjoyed it - the same sense of wonder at the world despite everything, the tendrils of hope they felt.
I just would have loved more of both the re-wilding AND the Icelandic walk; this could have been two, more fleshed out, separate books.
I'm now 45th in line for Landlines on Libby so hopefully I'll get to read that too at some point next year
