Landlines: The No 1 Sunday Times bestseller about a thousand-mile journey across Britain from the author of The Salt Path (Raynor Winn, 3)

Product Information

De beschrijvingen van de natuur zijn mooi, maar je krijgt niet echt zicht op de twee hoofdpersonen, Ray en Moth. Eight years earlier, Winn and Moth walked 600 miles after they lost their home and savings and had nowhere to go. As they traverse the path, they encounter other walkers, negotiate dangerous terrain, struggle with injuries and the will to continue their journey, many times teetering on the brink of giving up. An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan.

She also says things about how a man who scouts out stags so they can be killed/hunted by rich twats has a genuine, deep affection for the deers. As they map with each step the landscape of their island nation, they find themselves facing existential questions—about themselves and about their country—during this epic, inspiring odyssey. Het is goed geschreven, met mooie beschrijvingen van hun wandeltocht van noord Schotland tot zuid Engeland, maar het raakte me niet zodanig dat andere boeken wel doen. Nature writing, personal reflections, lovely characters along the way (only in the UK could anyone drink that much tea, perhaps that is actually the missing key!vast on siin raamatus eelmistest rohkem kõhklust ja süütunnet ja seda küsimust, et kas ta ikka suudab, kas me suudame. Chronicling her journey across Great Britain with trademark luminous, exquisite prose, Raynor maps not only the physical terrain, but also captures the collective consciousness of a country facing an uncertain path ahead. In fact, it has encroached further, as the doctors said it would, albeit more slowly than anyone expected.

And if you’re looking forward to what’s still ahead, we rounded up some of the buzziest releases of the summer.Like the golden plover, like the little wheatear, Winn and Moth push on, from the far north of the island all the way home .

Look to the best mysteries to solve as you lounge by the pool, take a refreshing swim through some historical fiction, or slip off to the cabana with one of our five favorite escapist reads.

selle üle on mul muidugi ainult hea meel, sest haige olla on juba piisav väljakutse ja seda pole tingimata vaja vaesuse lisamisega raskemaks teha. Some things have changed: Ray and Moth no longer pass unrecognised, they are no longer homeless, they no longer have to survive on the most meagre of trail rations, but the shadow of Moth’s illness – a condition known as corticobasal degeneration – has not gone away.

Winn, author of two memoirs — “ The Salt Path” (2019), shortlisted for the Costa Book Award, and “ The Wild Silence” (2021) — fills her work with rich metaphors drawn from the natural world. This is a story of grit and persistence, but most importantly, a tale of putting oneself ‘in the way of hope. The Wild Silence did not hold the same novelty value but I enjoyed her exploration of mindset v nature. esimese raamatu kodutuseiklusest eristab seda siin muidugi asjaolu, et vahepeal on (põhiliselt nendesamade raamatute abil) majanduslikult jälle järjele saadud ja võimalik on vajadusel valida öö hotellis või, khm, osta jalgrattad.Verder vond ik het hele boek nogal deprimerend doordat de ontberingen die beide wandelaars moeten doorstaan de mooie momenten overschaduwen. Alongside beautiful nature writing, there are thought-provoking observations on our countryside and the threat it is under. The powerful story of a 1,000-mile healing walk—from the lochs of Scotland to England's southwest coast—in a remarkable evocation of modern-day Britain.
