Several of my friends were enthusiastic about this book, as was a Guardian review. Then I saw Raynor Winn interviewed by Kate Humble as she walked a section of the South West Coast Path. The scenery is stunning, though the section with Ray was simply walking through some trees. She spoke of healing through walking and as a walker, I knew this was a book I really wanted to read. I was delighted to find it in a secondhand shop in Nijmegen. I wasn’t disappointed.
