**Thank you to Penguin Publishing for an ARC of this book in return for an honest review**

In her signature Atmospheric prose, Raynor Winn takes readers on a walk that holds immense meaning and hope for her and Moth.

I found Landlines to be significantly more tense and mournful than Winn's previous books. Weighed on by concern for Moth's health, this time the couples pilgrim through the wild seems like something of a last cry for help. This, combined with observations on the effect climate change is having on the landscape they walk through makes for bleak reading at times. However, the miraculous strength and comitment they share continues to be inspiring. Buoyed by hope, they once more achieve what, from the outside, seems impossible. Landlines is a moving continuation to an incredible, astonishing journey.

Was lucky enough to receive an uncorrected proof of this book and boy, am I grateful.

• Glorious writing, with some beautifully poignant observations on nature and humanity tucked into the folds of this journey, just waiting to be stumbled upon.
• A different kind of lockdown book to many others that have popped up, but one which explores its intriguing effects on us all nonetheless.
• Makes me want to walk for months on end.
