Review
A beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance ― Guardian
An astonishing narrative of two people dragging themselves from the depths of despair along some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country, looking for a solution to their problems and ultimately finding themselves. ― Independent
A gem of a book ― Guardian, Best Books of Summer
This is what you need to read right now to muster hope and resilience. A beautiful story and a reminder that humans can endure adversity ― Stylist
Ray's account of their incredible journey is a tale of triumph, of hope over despair ― Pick of the paperbacks, The Sunday Times
The landscape is magical, shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriad sea birds and mauve skies . . . It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything . . . home was no longer about bricks and mortar. It was a state of mind ― The Sunday Times
An inspirational nature memoir for fans of H is for Hawk about losing everything and finding yourself between the elements of sea and sky ― Waterstones
The Salt Path is a life-affirming tale of enduring love that smells of the sea and tastes of a rich life. With beautiful, immersive writing, it is a story heart-achingly and beautifully told.
The most inspirational book of this year . . . In some ways The Salt Path reads like the ultimate drop-out odyssey, except that this journey isn't a life choice . . . What the book chiefly conveys is the human capacity for endurance and the regenerative power of nature . . . The Salt Path also serves as a reminder that Britain is a land criss-crossed by footpaths and that we take this 140,000-mile national glory for granted at our peril . . . The Salt Path has reminded me to scrape last year's mud from my walking boots and get rambling again. I hope it has the same impact on millions of others. ― The Times
Moving and beautifully evocative ― i
Uplifting and inspirational ― Woman & Home
An exquisite piece of writing ― Western Morning News
A remarkable and redemptive journey ― Financial Times
This beautiful, meditative book should give us all a sense of our possible braveries: offering us an answer to the "what if?" questions - "what if we lost absolutely everything, what would we do?" . . . An extraordinary testament to love, hope and resilience.
A fabulous read, inspiring and life-affirming. If you're not already walking the coastal path, this book will make you want to set-off immediately. It is a hymn to the power of love, sear-air and the natural beauty of Cornwall to heal and nurture. It's an absolute joy ― Cornwall Life
What an absolutely glorious and moving book. It deserves all its praise!
