On Winter Hill

PRE-ORDER THE FOURTH BOOK FROM RAYNOR WINN, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SALT PATH Award-winning nature writer Raynor Winn laces up her walking boots once more, heading north for what will become a deeply personal pilgrimage to complete the Coast to Coast Walk - but this time she is on the path alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a turbulent year, Raynor Winn finds herself at the start of the Coast to Coast Walk in the north of England, in bleak winter, unexpectedly alone. Despite forty-five years of walking hand in hand with husband Moth, for the first time he is not with her. Setbacks in his health have led him to believe his decline is now inevitable, something Raynor refuses to accept. With Raynor feeling trapped and tormented, and Moth needing space to come to terms with what's happening to him, Raynor is drawn north, like a migratory bird, to embark on a trail they had planned to walk together. Grappling with Moth's absence and wracked with fears for the future, Raynor sets off along the Coast to Coast in search of the renewed peace and hope that their previous journeys have always yielded. Navigating the brutal weather, impassable routes and her own tangle of emotions, Raynor is forced to contemplate the mountains - real and metaphorical - that the couple have had to climb to reach this point. As she gradually finds her way back to Moth, she gains a deeper understanding of the power of the natural world to help us remember, rebuild and reclaim what is lost.
