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.Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky.

With beautiful, immersive writing, it is a story heart-achingly and beautifully told.' Jackie Morris'The landscape is magical: shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriads of sea birds and mauve skies. Raynor writes exquisitely . . . It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything' The Sunday Times

Desde que recorrió el Sendero de la Costa Sudoeste junto con su marido, Raynor Winn se ha convertido en una caminante habitual de larga distancia que escribe sobre la naturaleza, la falta de vivienda y la acampada al aire libre. Su primer libro, El sendero de la sal, fue un éxito de ventas del Sunday Times en 2018. Winn y su esposo Moth, a quien habían diagnosticado una enfermedad terminal llamada degeneración corticobasal, habían perdido su hogar después de una mala inversión y decidieron recorrer el Sendero de la Costa Sudoeste a lo largo de sus 630 millas (1.010 kilómetros). El sendero de la sal, el libro inspirado en esta experiencia, fue preseleccionado para los premios Wainwright y Costa Book en 2018, en la categoría de Biografía. Los jueces lo describieron como «una historia absolutamente brillante que necesita ser contada sobre la capacidad humana de resistir y seguir poniendo un pie delante del otro». En 2019, El sendero de la sal recibía el Premio RSL Christopher Bland y poco después era nominado para el Premio Stanford Travel en la categoría Memoria del Año. En septiembre del mismo año se había convertido en el libro más vendido en las librerías independientes del Reino Unido. El siguiente libro de Raynor Winn, The Wild Silence (2021), se ha convertido en un éxito de ventas y es número uno de The Sunday Times.
