Synopsis
85 Weeks on The Sunday Times Bestseller List.
Multiple-Award Winner & first of a series of 3.
Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years is terminally ill, their home and livelihood is taken away. 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, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.
They have almost no money for food or shelter and must carry only the essentials for survival on their backs as they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, 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.
Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

External Reviews
'The most inspirational book of this year' - The Times.
"The bravery and sheer determination the couple have is breath-taking. I really enjoyed it and recommend it highly. It’s made me grateful for my home and my bed, and of course my health."
". . . and the things they see and experience. The descriptions and the prose is impressive, vivid. Their descriptions of the physical pain they experience is anguishing. They take up past St. Isaac where my favourite show Doc Martin is made and through Cornwall and it's copper mines, where Poldark is filmed. They have a few run ins with wild life, and meet some quirky characters. They are called old, in their fifties, by many who can't believe they are walking so far. They wild camp, not having the money for campgrounds.
They find out they are stronger than they thought, braver than expected, and feel proud of their accomplishment. The story starts out in darkness, but ends in light, as . . . well read the book and find out. Don't think you'll be disappointed." - Goodreads Reviews.
'This is what you need right now to muster hope and resilience . . . a beautiful story and a reminder that humans can endure adversity' - Stylist.
'A beautiful book, it really lives up to the hype . . . an enjoyable, gentle yet moving read' - Pandora Sykes.
