Which Book are You Walking With?
The Salt Path is an incredible read.
What would you do if you lost your house and also received a diagnosis of a terminal illness? - obviously, take on a long distance walking trail around the south west peninsula of the UK!
These two traumatic events happened in the same week to Raynor Winn, the author of The Salt Path, and her partner, Moth. I am currently reading this powerful book and finding it un-put-down-able.
The journey is an ancient metaphor for personal and spiritual progress - think of The Odyssey, The Canterbury Tales, Pilgrim’s Progress… And reading gives us something of that sense of pilgrimage as we “walk” through the pages of an author day after day for several weeks or months.
So as World Book Day approaches - which writer are you walking with?
