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.

Following on from her first book, The Salt Path, this second book is another beautiful read. Written and narrated by Raynor Winn, the story gives more background and context to their first epic walk and paints an amazing picture of their lives after the Salt Path. Hoping for a third book!

Fabulous read

Raynor Winn found two loves of her life, in that sense she's a very lucky lady. Both of which, Moth and the natural world seem to propel her onwards with such determination, moments of doubt of course creep in but always strength returns. I've loved both books and both transform me from my daily (easy life by comparison) routines to part of her world and this latest adventure. it wouldn't be the same if it was read by anyone else, her quiet tones take me through almost beside her and Moth and willing them both on.

Another memorable adventure of life and love

I didn't want the salt path to end, and I regretted this book ending even more. Wow so thought provoking and life changing to listen to. I love every thrilling exciting and obviously sometimes sad but never melancholy of depressing moments in time. I really admire Ray and Moth for their zest for life, refusing to give up on life or even to slow down after Moths diagnosis. I think their amazingly realistic hopeful and positive outlook will help many poorly and non poorly people benefit from their attitude to life. I absolutely love Ray's honesty throughout both of the books, I laughed out loud a few times and managing to howl with things Moth says to her when she is overthinking something ( as I do too and my husband puts me right lol). Please please Ray keep on writing i eagerly await your next book I would rather not wat for a day to buy one of your wonderful books. I will be returning to Ray and Moths wisdom in future by buying the paper books so I can highlight what was relevant and poignant to me. I promise you, you will love this book. Good luck and safe travels to you both Ray and Moth I wish you much love. Natalie Dodson

Absolutely Fantastic.

A tale of one couple who battle adversity with determination, humour and the ability to see and appreciate the world around them.
Written naturally and honestly but without clumsiness. Absolutely “listentoable”.
I loved it.

Beautiful story.

After reading the Salt Path was good to catch up with these two. So well written and narrated by the author too. A personal heartfelt story about life's adventures even through difficult times
