Ray's account of their incredible journey is a tale of triumph, of
hope over despair
*Pick of the paperbacks, The Sunday Times*
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
*The Sunday Times*
An inspirational nature memoir for fans of H is for Hawk about
losing everything and finding yourself between the elements of sea
and sky
*Waterstones*
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.
*The Times*
Moving and beautifully evocative
