The amazing Sunday Times bestseller from the million-copy selling author of the phenomenon and Sunday Times bestseller for 80 weeks, The Salt Path. "Beautiful, a delight to read... you feel the world is better for Raynor and Moth being in it" - The Times.

"A beautiful, luminous and magical piece of writing" - Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
"It was the land, the land, the deep hum that was the background to my existence." In 2016, days before being unjustly evicted from their home, Raynor Winn was told that her husband Moth was dying. Instead of giving up, they embarked on a life-changing journey: walking the 630-mile South West Coast Path, living on their wits, determination, and love for nature. But all journeys must end, and as the couple returns to civilization, they find that four walls feel like a prison, separating them from the sea and sky that supported them - those that saved Moth's life. So when they are given the opportunity to rewild an old Cornish farm, they seize it, hoping to reconnect not only with the natural world but also to rediscover themselves on this healing path...
"Confirms Raynor as a natural and supremely talented writer with an incredible way of expression. This book gives us what we wanted to know at the end of The Salt Path, which is what happened next." - Sophie Raworth, BBC. "Outstanding, powerful and poignant... it will resonate with anyone who has triumphed over adversity" - Stephen Moss, author and naturalist. "Unwavering... There is a radiant conviction in the prose" - Observer. "The concepts of home are explored movingly... wonderful" - Guardian.
