What would you do if you lost your home and business, had no money, or friends to stay with? Raynor and her slowly dying husband Moth decided to walk. A lot. 630 miles on the South West Costal Path, wild camping and living off £30 a week.
The book isn’t just about the walk though, it’s about grief for a life lost, for a medical diagnosis telling you your husband is going to die. It’s about learning what’s important in life.
Raynor also explores the problems of homelessness, as for the duration of the book they are essentially homeless, it makes sense that they come across some of the problems homeless people face.
Overall a great book. It’s made me want to get out and walk. Leave all the trappings of modern life behind. I’m not sure I could go so long without a shower though.
