About this listen

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.

Having loved The Salt Path, I felt compelled to listen to this too. If nothing else, to hear Raynor Winn's dulcet tones again. I listened to the books back to back and felt bereft when they were all over. There is something incredibly uplifting about the way Winn writes and reads. I truly hope that her work brings her sufficient rewards to live comfortably in the future. She and Moth deserve it. Thank you for sharing your love for your husband so honestly, Raynor. And thank you for your wonderful books.

Loved this book - followed on so beautifully from the salt path - a treat.

Moving, life affirming, enriched my life

I enjoyed this book so much, possibly even more than The Salt Path, certainly as much.
Raynor writes effortlessly beautifully. So much must go into it - all unseen - as we are delivered a masterpiece, read by Raynor too, so that no meaning is lost.
Among many messages between the lines, I loved the message about nature, how central to everything it is, how health giving. We need the earth, the land, far more than it needs us.

Wonderful book - sequel to The Salt Path

Very interesting to learn more about the background of Ray and Moth as well as find out what happened after The Salt Path ended. It is however still close to the end of the initial book so I don't know whether waiting a little longer would have given more of a story as there's so much still going on with the book and the orchard etc. But worth listening too. The authors reading is very easy to listen to.
