Sunday Times bestseller; shortlisted for the 2018 Costa Book Prize for Biography; shortlisted for the Wainwright Book Prize. This is a true, non-fiction story with a powerful narrative about rising above adversity through hiking and the healing power of nature. The author Renault learned that Moss, her husband with whom she had lived for 32 years, was terminally ill. Shortly afterwards, the two lost their property and livelihood. With nothing and little time left, they made the bold and impulsive decision to walk 630 miles (1,014 kilometers) along the southwest coast, from Somerset to Dorset, passing through Devon and Cornwall. They have almost no money to buy food or accommodation. They can only carry the necessary supplies for survival and live on the ancient land that has been washed by time. The cliffs, sea and sky are their homes. But during this journey, every step they took, everything they encountered, and every challenge they encountered ultimately led to this extraordinary journey from grief to joy. The story in this book is unapologetic and true. It is full of inspiration. This real-life story proves the importance of accepting grief and the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, this is a portrait of home, how it is lost, rebuilt, and ultimately found again in the most unexpected ways.
