À propos de cet audio
Bring nature into your home with the uplifting true story of the couple who lost everything and embarked on a journey of salvation across the South West coastline, brought to you by Penguin.
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.
©2019 Raynor Winn (P)2019 Penguin AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"A beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance." (Guardian)
"The landscape is magical: shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriads of sea birds and mauve skies. It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything." (Sunday Times)
"An astonishing narrative of two people dragging themselves from the depths of despair along some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country and ultimately finding themselves." (Independent)

Compelling story!
No one is immune from the misfortune that befell these two, but how many of us could face such a dire situation with similar grace! No sugar coating, just honest retelling of a trip and a transformation.

Interesting enough
The concept was a little more captivating than the actual story itself, but nonetheless, entertaining.

Ray narrates beautifully but it's better read
Raynor Winn tells the story of how, at 50 yrs old, she and her husband lose all of their material possessions, including their business. Homeless, and distraught, with no place to go, they decide to walk the 630 mile South West Coastal Path of England. An area that I previously knew nothing about, and that I now want to visit.
I didn't initially love this book. I started out listening to it on audio (narrated by the author), but after getting 3/4 through, my mind kept wandering. I knew that I was missing something important. I stopped and decided to wait until I could read it from the beginning. I decided to travel the journey. I googled images of many landmarks and towns, and I followed along on google maps. This could easily have been a picture book; there is so much geography, history and geology. When I read it, and as I learned more about the English coast, I truly connected with Ray and Moth. As I learned about every village and town, my reading trudged along, but it was a trip worth taking. If you read this book, don't read it too quickly, It's beautifully written; almost poetic and I think it's meant to be savoured.
The author paints amazing pictures of the landscape, but more importantly she vividly describes how they feel every day as they plod along. They start out feeling broken and old. She adds humor when it's appropriate and if you take your time to really walk with them, their galvanizing trek will stick with you and inspire you.
If you enjoy nature and want to learn and be inspired, then I highly recommend this book. Don't plan to rush through it though. Read it and make Google your friend.

Beautiful.
Beautiful biography. Raynor Winn has a poetic prose that covers all the elements of both the heart and the landscape.

The story is so inspirational; researching my next big backpacking trip as we speak
The author’s prominent speech impediment is very distracting. She seems to pronounce R’s when there are L’s about 98% of the time. Unfortunate; another author would have been easier listening.

Uplifting Memoir infused with wry humour & pathos
I didn't realise it was a memoir. At the start of the book with its desperate scenario of Moth and Ray reeling from being losing their home and livelihood and then the next day hearing Moth's devastating diagnosis, I thought this was a heavy handed novel with way too much stacked up against the protagonist. The fact that this is a true story was to me more wild the path they took.
The prose is so descriptive you can hear the birds, the waves, the wind. Normally I fight shy of narrators reading their own books, but Raynor Winn (with her everso so slight lisp and natural country cadence) was an added bonus.
It is both heartbreaking and uplifting. A loving paean to both the South West Coast Path and her husband.

Food for thought
I found this book quite challenging. Its an interesting story, at times hopeful, but also a bit depressing in the way it describes the reality of homelessness. I think perhaps I would have preferred to read the book because although the author's writing is very descriptive, I didn't find her reading performance to be engaging.

Beautifully written
Her sense of humour and resilience are inspiring. I have had some tough times that really got me down but I listen to this book and it gives me strength and hope. Her story telling captures your imagination,
