Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path.

Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, their walk becomes a remarkable journey. The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world.

Read by author Raynor Winn, this deeply felt, personal tale is a beacon of universal strength.

A beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance
An astonishing narrative of two people dragging themselves from the depths of despair along some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country, looking for a solution to their problems and ultimately finding themselves.
A gem of a book
This is what you need to read right now to muster hope and resilience. A beautiful story and a reminder that humans can endure adversity
Ray's account of their incredible journey is a tale of triumph, of hope over despair
The landscape is magical, shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriad sea birds and mauve skies . . . It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything . . . home was no longer about bricks and mortar. It was a state of mind
An inspirational nature memoir for fans of H is for Hawk about losing everything and finding yourself between the elements of sea and sky
The Salt Path is a life-affirming tale of enduring love that smells of the sea and tastes of a rich life. With beautiful, immersive writing, it is a story heart-achingly and beautifully told.
The most inspirational book of this year . . . In some ways The Salt Path reads like the ultimate drop-out odyssey, except that this journey isn't a life choice . . . What the book chiefly conveys is the human capacity for endurance and the regenerative power of nature . . . The Salt Path also serves as a reminder that Britain is a land criss-crossed by footpaths and that we take this 140,000-mile national glory for granted at our peril . . . The Salt Path has reminded me to scrape last year's mud from my walking boots and get rambling again. I hope it has the same impact on millions of others.
Moving and beautifully evocative

That I bought a book that I believed to be inspirational and it turned out to be little more than a scam.

That this was a record of a life event delivered under false pretences

Un récit qui veut - malhonnêtement - jouer sur la sensibilité du lecteur (par la supposée grave maladie du mari) mais dont le personnage principal est si incompétent, si stupide dans ses décisions, si désorganisé, si négatif vis-à-vis de tout et de tous, que la lecture de l'ouvrage en devient proprement insupportable.
On a envie de lui recommander la lecture de "Faites-vous même votre malheur" de Paul Watzlawick, en anglais "The Pursuit of Unhappiness"...
Le paysage n'est pas donné à voir, les rencontres ne sont que l'occasion d'échanges conflictuels ou d'incompréhension.
Un triste tableau pour un projet qui se voudrait rédempteur et qui n'est présenté que comme incroyablement pénible.

Histoire peu crédible personnage très antipathique

I really, really wanted to listen to this as I am interested in the story and the phenomenon it generated. However, it is impossible as the audio read by the author herself is nearly incomprehensible. Everything is poorly articulated, and the speech impediment and the strong accent don’t help. Why not employ a voice actor?

I loved this book. Not anymore after discovering lies that have been told in the book. Such a pity.

Deceitful
