Nature holds the answers for Raynor and her husband Moth.


After walking 630 miles homeless along The Salt Path, the windswept and wild English coastline now feels like their home.

And despite Moth's terminal diagnosis, against all medical odds, he seems revitalized in nature - outside, they discover that anything is possible.

Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits. As they return to four walls, the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult - until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything:

A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful but neglected farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills; rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows becomes their new path.

Along the way, Raynor and Moth learn more about the land that envelopes them, find friends both new and old, and, of course, embark on another windswept adventure when the opportunity arises.

The Wild Silenceis a luminous story of hope triumphing over despair, of the human spirit's instinctive connection to nature, and of lifelong love prevailing over everything.

A beautiful, luminous and magical piece of writing
Written in wise, unflinching, exquisite prose, this is a different kind of journey - into the past, into grief and also into Winn's search for connection. A spiritual journey instead of a physical one, and, for me at least, an even richer one
Deeply personal and spiritual in its exploration of the healing qualities of nature . . . Winn's writing transforms her surroundings and her spirits, her joy coming across clearly in her shimmering prose
In this unflinching sequel toThe Salt Path, nature provides solace against forebodings of mortality . . . there is a luminous conviction to the prose
To follow Raynor Winn on her songline back to Cornwall is to know how it feels to walk yourself into the land you love and find peace at the end of the journey
An uplifting, illuminating read
Winn's soul-baring honesty and beautifully remembered, touching conversations will take your breath away
Notions of home are poignantly explored . . . Her evocations of weather, landscape, the sea and her love for her partner, Moth, who has an incurable neurodegenerative condition, are wonderful

Profoundly moving and emotionally transcendent reading
Unflinching . . . Another beautifully poignant read about triumph over adversity, and adjusting to life after immense change
Intimate in feel and ambitious in scope . . . Throughout it all [Winn] retains her faith in the importance of having an almost visceral connection to the land
This sequel sees the pair trying unsatisfactorily to readjust to normal life before finding ways to reharness nature's healing power
Moving. A must-read for anyone inspired byThe Salt Path. . . another thoughtful memoir
The quality of Winn's writing draws us through the story with the same emotional honesty, lyricism and warmth that epitomisesThe Salt Path
A poignant and passionate, grounded yet uplifting journey of discovery in which we learn what can be found after all seems lost,The Wild Silenceis a testament to the transformative power of nature and the fresh hope it nurtures within ourselves
