No Longer Homeless or Hiking, Raynor Winn Is Still in Thrall to Nature
In her new memoir, “The Wild Silence,” Raynor Winn and her husband settle on a farm after spending months hiking England’s South West Coast Path. But “we would always need to find our way back to the path,” Winn writes, “to smell the salt and spread our arms into the wind on the cliff top.”Credit...Alice Walker

THE WILD SILENCE
By Raynor Winn
“The Wild Silence” continues the story Raynor Winn began in her well-received 2019 memoir, “The Salt Path,” but one can enjoy the sequel on its own, for it includes a recap of the circumstances that caused Winn and her husband, Moth, both in their 50s, to lose the beloved farm in Wales where they had kept sheep, grown vegetables and raised a family. Soon after their eviction (following a financial dispute with a business partner and a lost court battle), Moth received a diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration, or CBD, a brain disease with no treatment or cure. Ignoring his doctor’s admonition to avoid tiring himself or walking too far, and with no home to return to, the couple took to the outdoors instead, embarking on a strenuous monthslong hike along the 630 miles of England’s South West Coast Path.
