As an aside, I have to say, Winn’s insights into homelessness have really challenged me as a reader to reserve judgement and make space for the nuance of unique experience.
Raynor Winn’s trademark narrative voice inspires me as an author, but will live on with me as a reader. What an extraordinary writer that the world has gifted to us.

It's horrendous what this couple went through and what led them to their decision to walk the 630 South West Coast Path, and I so worried for Moth's health. But the journey is inspiring and, despite some understandable despair, full of hope.
The connection with nature that Winn captures really left me craving it for myself. It's a really beautiful book and I can't wait to read more.

The beginning of the book is incredibly tense and difficult, but the journey is explorative and peaceful as Raynor and Moth become a part of the wilderness, rambling along and through the coast and encounters with mostly dog walkers and tea rooms ... Hugely British 😂
How Moth coped with his pain and illness was a highlight: long-term we don't discover his end of life health, but no doubt walking the path gave quality to his life despite a diet of fudge bars and noodles, for at least while they walked.
Plenty to contemplate!
