About this deal

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. Isabella Tree An inspiring and beautifully written story of hope and healing. We, her readers, are privileged to walk alongside her. Countryfile

The Wild Silence did not hold the same novelty value but I enjoyed her exploration of mindset v nature. At the time I wrote "Raynor Winn's writing raises this book from memoir to something painfully visceral. She captures emotions and landscape so deftly that you are carried along with joy despite this not always joyous narrative which inspires deep hope. Inspiration from the natural world provides catharsis and inner strength." This is a story of grit and persistence, but most importantly, a tale of putting oneself ‘in the way of hope.’ Readers familiar with the couple's previous adventures especially will love this third installment. Booklist 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?

Their journey from remote Scotland to the South West coast Path makes for inspiring reading * Boundless *

noh, ja eelmistest raamatutest veel rohkem on siia puistatud moraaliga mõtisklusi sel teemal, kuidas inimesed kaotavad kontakti maaga, kuidas maa müüakse maha ja ehitatakse täis ja külvatakse sinna monokultuure ja loodusele jääb järjest vähem ruumi. lisaks sinna juurde veel pandeemia lõpp (usaldamatus võõraste vastu eriti väikestes kogukondades) ja Brexitist tingitud jamad (Raynor on sunnitud käima tuhat miili vale suurusega saabastes, sest tema suurust lihtsalt kuskil ei ole, sest... tarneraskused) ja kokku on see kõik ikkagi päris nukker ka.vast on siin raamatus eelmistest rohkem kõhklust ja süütunnet ja seda küsimust, et kas ta ikka suudab, kas me suudame. muidugi ei võeta ette ka lihtsat ülesannet, esimene plaan on matkata läbi Cape Wrath Trail Šotimaal ja see on ka noore ja terve inimese jaoks paras katsumus. aga lõppeb see lugu muidugi ikka sellega, et Fort Williamis pidama ei jääda, sest West Highland Way kutsub... ja Glasgows ka ei jääda pidama... ja kui juba möödaminnes on Pennine Way ka ära tehtud, siis on selge, et enne koduni (Cornwallis) jõudmist see paar rongi peale ei istu. An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. She knows of only one cure: the healing power of walking. Embarking on a journey across the Cape Wrath Trail, over 200 miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs, Raynor and Moth look to an uncertain future.
