Brought to you by Penguin.
The incredible, Sunday Times bestselling follow-up to one of the most talked about books of the decade, The Salt Path.
Nature holds the answers for Raynor and her husband Moth.
After walking 630 miles homeless along The Salt Path, the windswept and wild English coastline now feels like their home.
And despite Moth's terminal diagnosis, against all medical odds, he seems revitalized in nature - outside, they discover that anything is possible.
Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits. As they return to four walls, the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult - until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything:
A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful but neglected farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills; rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows becomes their new path.
Along the way, Raynor and Moth learn more about the land that envelopes them, find friends both new and old, and, of course, embark on another windswept adventure when the opportunity arises.
The Wild Silence is a luminous story of hope triumphing over despair, of the human spirit's instinctive connection to nature, and of lifelong love prevailing over everything.

British author Winn (The Salt Path) returns with a powerful memoir about overcoming life's obstacles. When Winn's husband, Moth, was diagnosed with a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease, the two set out on a trek along England's longest waymarked path. This odyssey served as the premise of Salt Path, and here Winn picks up where that journey ends. Soon after they returned from their trip, Winn's mother suffered a fatal stroke, leaving Winn to grieve her loss while simultaneously tending to her husband's decline: "He was vanishing like sea mist in the heat of the sun." Winn and Moth struggled to hold onto hope, until an estate owner who had been moved by Winn's memoir offered them the chance to revive a neglected farm in Cornwall. This gift led to a newfound sense of accomplishment that compelled them to embark on another epic trip, this time across Iceland. It's impossible not to fall for Winn's beautiful prose and her fierce advocacy for her husband. Her descriptive powers pull readers in, and the pacing is pitch-perfect. This powerful narrative proves the resilience of the human spirit and stuns with its grace.
