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.

I listened to the first book but missed the second and continued on with this but will definitely going back to give it a listen. This was simply marvellous and Iu2019d honestly recommend to everyone but particularly if youu2019re into walking, the outdoors, Scotland or just hopeful tales about the wonders of the human body and nature. Fantastic narration from the author which isnu2019t very common!
