'Raynor Winn has written a brilliant, powerful and touching account of her life before and after The Salt Path, which, like her astonishing debut, will connect with anyone who has triumphed over adversity'

- Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

- Rachel Joyce, author of Miss Benson's Beetle
'Deeply personal and spiritual in its exploration of the healing qualities of nature . . . Winn's writing transforms her surroundings and her spirits, her joy coming across clearly in her shimmering prose'
