Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Sunday Times best-selling Author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence.
The latest memoir from global bestselling author Raynor Winn.
Some people live to walk. Raynor and Moth walk to live...
Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he—can he?—set out with her on another healing walk?
The Cape Wrath Trail is over two hundred miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. But the lure of the wilderness and the beguiling beauty of the awaiting glens draw them northwards. Being one with nature saved them in their darkest hour and their hope is that it can work its magic again.
As they set out on their incredible thousand-mile journey back to the familiar shores of the South-west Coast Path, Raynor and Moth map the landscape of an island nation facing an uncertain path ahead.
In Landlines, she records in luminous prose the strangers and friends, wilderness and wildlife they encounter on the way—it's a journey that begins in fear but can only end in hope.

Such an inspiring story
I really liked the vivid description of landscape and human connection to it. The writing draw me in and made want to put the kettle on and listen again. Not many books do that with me.

Another wonderful book
Loved this - as I knew I would after reading (or rather listening to) the first two books. Inspiring. And wonderful to hear Moth's voice!

Truly incredible
I’ve read / listened to all of Raynor’s books and absolutely loved them all. From the beauty of the landscape to the courage of Raynor and Moth, I’ve been totally immersed in this book.

tenderness
I'm not sure what I expected, but in the end this book took me on an intimate journey with the British countryside, the people on it and in it and a couple wrangling with long term illness. a perfect book to read before or after the book of trespass I think as both discuss the limitations on places to roam, territoriality and judgment that comes from an island folk to the hopefulness, generosity and joy that also resides here. tender beautiful reading.

Beautiful and totally inspiring
Landlines is beautifully written, passionately read and totally inspiring. Covering so many important topics, mental health, physical health, homelessness, the environment and the importance of a good cup of tea. Not only should everyone read or listen to this book, they should walk, and walk and walk.

Is walking the answer?
I initially started listening to these books to follow Month's journey with CBD, but so realized there is a lot more to them. @Raynor tells the story of their journey and so many other issues along the way. It's inspirational on so many different levels. Now eagerly awaiting the next episode - is there really something in walking that can save (or at the very least delay) someone from neurodegenerative diseases...I truly hope so! #CBD_CruelBrainDisease #PSP_ItsNotaGame #CBD_CorticobasalDegeneration #PSP_ProgressiveSupranuclearPalsy

Totally awesome
These books were inspiring, beautiful and moving, I can only thank Raynor for sharing their story with us.
I first read the salt path just as I lost my own home, it helped me to find the strength and adaptation required to start my new life, knowing it wasn't just me.

Great book
I thought it was a great follow up to the other two books charting their walking progress alongside the fight against the progress of Moth’s illness. This book continues the focus on homelessness but also concentrates very much on raising our awareness of the environment.

Absolutely breathtaking!
Once again, Raynor Winn has written a spellbinding and emotional book - and I couldn’t put it down! Thank you for sharing your experiences; it goes to show just how much medical science has to learn. By sharing how Moth’s body responded to your epic walk, you must surely have opened a window on the ‘how’. Long may his positive results remain.
