After walking the South West Coast Path, Raynor Winn became a long distance walker and now writes about nature, homelessness and wild camping. She lives in Cornwall. This has a great outlook on a good few areas of GB and if you were ever wondering about visiting then this has a little insight into that. 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. 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.” Join Book Club: Delivered to your inbox every Friday, a selection of publishing news, literary observations, poetry recommendations and more from Book World writer Ron Charles.

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? 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.Heartfelt and heartening.

Readers who have undertaken caretaking responsibilities for loved ones will find much to relate to in this honest depiction.” I loved following the journey,and the descriptions of the country. However, I sometimes found the author's tone and opinions difficult. Not only the fairly regular remarks about Brexit but I found myself annoyed by her "I told you so" repetitions when Moth had done something silly. mul oli endal käepärast see sisurikkuja, et matkamine aitas jälle - käisin hiljuti Landlinesi esitlusel ja suvel käisin ka ühel folkbändi kontserdil, kus Raynor oma tekste laulude vahele esitas. Moth istus mõlemal korral tagareas ja oli täitsa hea tervise juures.

If you followed Raynor and husband Moth on The Salt Path, you will thrill to join them on this epic walk, from Scotland's wild and beautiful Cape Wrath Trail. Miracles might just happen when you put your best foot forward. Saga Magazine These are the questions Raynor asks herself as she embarks on her most ambitious walk to date alongside her husband Moth - from the dramatic beauty of the Cape Wrath Trail in the north-west corner of Scotland, to the familiar territory of the South-west Coast Path. Winn’s prose is powerful. She excels at description, and her apt metaphors are rooted in nature... an inspiring read, reminding us that there is salvation in nature, movement and the out-of-doors." Minneapolis Star Tribune From the glens of Scotland to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path, this is the inspiring story of a thousand-mile journey and love letter to our land. A beautiful, luminous and magical piece of writing." - Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold FryRaynor 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 This is a story about hardship and struggling against insurmountable odds, refusing to give in. But it is also about hope and there are also many moments of humour that pop up, little lamps of laughter brightening a bleak path. Remarkably it has helped in the past, alleviating his condition, mitigating symptoms. However, Moth’s condition is worse than it has ever been. He is slowly losing his battle, his muscles growing weaker with each day. Eventually he will lose his speech, memory, and not be able to breath. Ray's third book begins with Moth's deteriorating health. She somehow convinces him to walk 200 miles of Scotland in the hope his health will improve as it did on the south coast path. Slowly they trample their way through Scottish wilderness, in a mid-Covid landscape of extremes - some people refuse to even serve them food, while others go out of their way to help them. I found Landlines to be significantly more tense and mournful than Winn's previous books. Weighed on by concern for Moth's health, this time the couples pilgrim through the wild seems like something of a last cry for help. This, combined with observations on the effect climate change is having on the landscape they walk through makes for bleak reading at times. However, the miraculous strength and comitment they share continues to be inspiring. Buoyed by hope, they once more achieve what, from the outside, seems impossible. Landlines is a moving continuation to an incredible, astonishing journey.
