The Salt Path by Raynor Winn

A middle-aged couple loses their home, and the husband is newly diagnosed with a terminal illness but their kids are launched so they decide to walk the South West Coast Path in Great Britain. Descriptions of nature are often lyrical even as the narrative also describes the difficulties of wild camping along the trail, surviving on a low budget barely adequate to cover the cost of food, and enduring cold and wind buffeting their tent. Infused with thoughtful reflection on their experience of life, and their enduring love for one another, this is a poignant travelogue.
