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.

I chose to read 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡, a memoir by Raynor Winn, as part of a 2023 challenge created by my friends in The Little Book Nook group. This book fulfills my own prompt of reading a book about nature, as it follows a couple on their 630-mile trek down the South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset.
After 32 years of marriage, Moth learns he is terminally ill, and he and Raynor lose their home, all within a matter of days. Walking "homeless" through their grief along the coastal cliffs, they find an unexpected strength living in nature, redefining "home" as more than just a place.
I loved this heartfelt book. I could feel and taste their descriptions of the salty air, and could imagine their experiences in the natural world. What a beautiful memoir.

I was completely swept up in the nature and their journey along the path-- it made me appreciate nature so much. The world is so beautiful! We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a rich and giving environment. Note to self: must spend more time outside!
