I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. What a beautiful memoir meets hiking/travelling/adventure novel meets reflection on life and nature. Reading it made me want to appreciate everything to the fullest and reconnect to the natural world (which we are connected to by nature of being human!). Such a special book.
Beyond the tale of Moth’s incurable disease and Raynor’s coping mechanisms with his gradual decline, Winn does the British landscape so much justice within her prose. It is elegant enough without being pretentious; it shows so much heart and love for the isles. It makes me want to put on my hiking shoes and walk for miles along the coast path, stopping for tea, tea and tea. There are other issues in the background: Brexit, COVID, climate change, biodiversity… yet it never loses focus because the journey itself keeps the story on track.
Also, Cornwall. What is it about that moment you cross from Devon to Cornwall…an invisible magic.
(I didn’t read The Wild Silence, only The Salt Path and really thought this was the sequel… )

Didn't enjoy this anywhere as much as the previous books. Unfortunately I think It got my back up early on with a blatant disregard for Scotland's covid regulations - I recall that summer where we couldn't get in anywhere (I love in Scotland) for a short break because of the influx of visitors from England which inevitably brought with it a rise in covid numbers. The sections later on equally disregarding the difference in guidance Wales had adhered to were also patronising, and I find the vague sentences relating to 'borders' naive.
There's no denying their feat was indeed epic and great that Moth seemed to respond well to it but I just couldn't connect with this book as with the others.
