Alibi Bookshop January Memoir Book Club: "The Salt Path" by Raynor Winn Thursday, Jan 8th, 7pm

It's a new year, and time for a new round of books for our Book Clubs! I like starting off with a book about journeys, so January's Memoir meeting on Thursday, January 8th at 7pm is "The Salt Path" by Raynor Winn, a book that I have heard nothing but raves about.

"Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, is terminally ill, their house and farm are taken away, along with their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, through Devon and Cornwall.

Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea, and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable and life-affirming journey. Powerfully written and unflinchingly honest, The Salt Path is ultimately a portrayal of home--how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways."

“The Salt Path is an unputdownable tale and a temple to equanimity… It will change you.”—Wall Street Journal

“Winn’s prose is powerful. She excels at description, and her apt metaphors are rooted in nature… an inspiring read, reminding us that there is salvation in nature, movement and the out-of-doors.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Winn writes with great humor, reflection and generosity.”—Salon

“This is a damn good book. Plain and simple.”—Medium
