FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SALT PATH AND THE WILD SILENCE
The latest memoir from global bestselling author Raynor Winn
Some people live to walk. Raynor and Moth walk to live . . .
Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he - can he? - set out with her on another healing walk?
The Cape Wrath Trail is over two hundred miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. But the lure of the wilderness and the beguiling beauty of the awaiting glens draw them northwards. Being one with nature saved them in their darkest hour and their hope is that it can work its magic again.
As they set out on their incredible thousand-mile journey back to the familiar shores of the South-west Coast Path, Raynor and Moth map the landscape of an island nation facing an uncertain path ahead.
In Landlines, she records in luminous prose the strangers and friends, wilderness and wildlife they encounter on the way - it's a journey that begins in fear but can only end in hope.

Critics Review
Raynor Winn has done it again. She’s achieved a miracle, defying all odds and walking 1,000 miles with her beloved husband Moth. But she has also given her vast army of fans – both armchair hikers and the real thing – another wondrous book, full of compassion, humour, insights, closeness to nature and true, bloody-minded grit. An inspiration.
As well as a portrait of a telepathic marriage of true minds, and a snapshot of a fretful island, this is a soaring lament and a tub-thumping tirade – for all that is being lost, for all that may yet be saved
An inspiring and beautifully written story of hope and healing . . . We, her readers, are privileged to walk alongside her
An inspirational story of love and endurance; of trails offering links to ancient times. But it’s clear-eyed, too, on the future we’re shaping
Another heartwarming odyssey, this time on one of the wildest walks in Britain . . . Winn seems to have a bird’s-eye view of Britain – a map at her feet, a keen eye for detail, particularly for social injustice. Hers is a voice of empathy and integrity
Fans of The Salt Path will love this moving continuation of Raynor and her husband Moth’s journey . . . Alongside beautiful nature writing, there are thought-provoking observations on our countryside and the threat it is under
A tale of remarkable resilience and nature writing at its best
Their journey from remote Scotland to the South West coast Path makes for inspiring reading
Each step is recorded in luminous prose
A captivating reflection on nature and the lines that divide and shape countries and people
