About this deal

Readers found this to be heartening and heartfelt. It’s a full throated paean to the fundamental importance of nature in all of its fury, glory, and impermanence. Fans of the novel delighted in Raynor’s account of falling in love with Moth. Her writing once again beautifully evokes the natural world, whether she’s describing a doe in an orchard or her innermost conflicted feelings. This is the perfect ‘what happened next’ memoir which gives closure to readers of Winn’s first book.

Starting in the far north-west of Scotland on an improvised version of the Cape Wrath Trail, they are spurred by a wise hiker’s counsel to “put yourself in the way of hope” in search of what another sage in a cagoule dubs “trail magic”.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Mystery as Prince Andrew's favourite club Tramp - which played host to stars including Michael Caine and Keith Moon - closes its doors I met my husband Moth when I was a teenager, looking up through a crowd of heads in the college canteen to see a man with astonishing blue eyes dipping a Mars bar in a cup of tea. In that instant, I knew he was the one for me. Sophie Turner's kiss with Peregrine Pearson was 'one-sided' as he made 'all the effort' - while the actress's response was 'just polite', body language expert claims Euphoria star Jacob Elordi credits Eminem for helping him nail his American accent: 'I love that man so much' It was the worst thing that could possibly happen to us – or so we thought.
