Landlines by Raynor Winn | Goodreads

We were advised that the illness would slow his movements, co-ordination and thinking until they eventually stopped, and the best he could do was not get too tired and be careful on the stairs. The sun has dropped below the horizon and the ice that became water in the warmth is turning back into ice again. In spite of the mishaps and travails suffered on what becomes a 1,600-kilometre journey back to the shores of the South West Coast Path, they plod on, Raynor never losing confidence in the therapeutic benefits of their gruelling challenge. In this book, not only do we get to explore a route along with Raynor and her husband Moth, but they take us through parts of Scotland, England and Wales! The walk becomes, as life often is, a quest for these moments, “a hope, a need, a prayer for the dance of light to resume”.Rights sold: Albanian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Large Print, Russian, Polish, Portugese, Slovenian, Spanish, Taiwanese, U.

Homeless, sick and facing bankruptcy: What became of The Salt

This year will mark a decade since my life changed with such abrupt force that the idea of adapting seemed impossible, ten years since my world was torn apart. Raynor Winns erstes Buch "Der Salzpfad“ erzählte von der gemeinsamen Fernwanderung mit ihrem Mann Moth auf dem South West Coast Path in Cornwall, zu der sie als Obdachlose nach Privatinsolvenz und der Diagnose CBD (kortikobasale Degeneration) bei Moth aufbrachen. It seemed like a narrow path that was going up the hillside, until we reached an area where it was so rocky that we were climbing over boulders. Moth’s finally accepting the recommendation of the doctor in that first diagnosis: ‘Don’t tire yourself, and be careful on the stairs.Its pages offer the same potent blend of big themes (the climate crisis, extinction, migration, food security, homelessness, terminal illness, friendship) illuminated by intimate details, small observations, and a sort of magic as simple and complex as love itself. Like the path under their feet, life is rarely straightforward or easy going, but the views can be exceptional. It was the only thing that had helped his health: climbing, nature and walking as much as we possibly could. There is a flowing and rich narrative with a lived reality of resilience alongside her hopes for the future. Her books – of which the third, Landlines, is published next month – show the more ‘confident side of me.
