Synopsis "Landlines : The No 1 Sunday Times bestseller about a thousand-mile journey across Britain from the author of The Salt Path"

Longlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2023

Raynor 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?

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.

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, author of Wilding

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 - Telegraph

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

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 - Telegraph, 'Best travel books to buy for Christmas 2022'

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 - GUARDIAN

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 - Good Housekeeping

A tale of remarkable resilience and nature writing at its best - i

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

Each step is recorded in luminous prose - Wanderlust

Since she walked the South West Coast Path with her husband, Raynor Winn has become a regular long-distance walker who writes about nature, homelessness, and outdoor camping. Her first book, The Salt Path, was a Sunday Times bestseller in 2018. Winn and her husband Moth, who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness called corticobasal degeneration, had lost their home after a bad investment and decided to walk the South West Coast Path along its 630 miles (1,010 kilometers). The Salt Path, the book inspired by this experience, was shortlisted for the Wainwright and Costa Book awards in 2018, in the Biography category. The judges described it as "an absolutely brilliant story that needs to be told about the human capacity to endure and keep putting one foot in front of the other". In 2019, The Salt Path received the RSL Christopher Bland Prize and was shortly after nominated for the Stanford Travel Award in the Memoir of the Year category. In September of the same year, it had become the best-selling book in independent bookstores in the UK. Raynor Winn's next book, The Wild Silence (2021), has become a bestseller and is number one on The Sunday Times.
