Winner of the highest praise from literary critics and a UK bestseller in 2019, The Salt Trail is the real-life story of a married couple who had to face the trials they endured together. This lyrical, heartfelt story is about finding hope in the ruins of one's life. Written so honestly and poignantly that it is impossible not to empathize with it. Betrayal, the loss of their home, the news of a fatal illness - all this fell on 50-year-old spouses at once and quite suddenly. Confused, desperate, with almost no money, they make the most seemingly insane decision: to hike the 630-mile-long Southwest Coastal Trail, famous for its rugged beauty. Shouldering backpacks with the essentials, they set off on their journey toward a new life. The wilderness so beautifully described in the book, the amazing encounters and new challenges, changed them every day.
Salt Path was a Sunday Times bestseller (2018), shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize and Costa Book Awards in the biography category, and won the 2019 RSL Christopher Bland Prize. In September 2019, the book became the first bestseller in independent bookstores in the UK. "We were unlucky: we didn't have time to first get over the shock of the events that had happened to us, and then - as happens in any decent healing story - to go out into nature to find our place in life again. Misfortune came upon us like a huge wave, and would surely have destroyed us if it hadn't been for the trail. The journey stripped us of every emotion without a trace, sucked out both our energy and willpower. But then, just like the gnarled trees we encountered along the way, we were changed by the elements. We took on a new form, able to withstand any storm that would try to mar our shining sea."
