Résumé

Just days after Raynor Winn learned that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, was terminally ill, they lost their home and livelihood. With nothing left, little time and nowhere to go, they decided to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Living wild, at the mercy of sea and sky, they discovered a new, liberating existence - but what would they find at the journey's end ?
