About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The incredible, Sunday Times bestselling follow-up to one of the most talked about books of the decade, The Salt Path.

Nature holds the answers for Raynor and her husband Moth.


After walking 630 miles homeless along The Salt Path, the windswept and wild English coastline now feels like their home.

And despite Moth's terminal diagnosis, against all medical odds, he seems revitalized in nature - outside, they discover that anything is possible.

Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits. As they return to four walls, the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult - until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything:
A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful but neglected farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills; rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows becomes their new path.

Along the way, Raynor and Moth learn more about the land that envelopes them, find friends both new and old, and, of course, embark on another windswept adventure when the opportunity arises.

The Wild Silence is a luminous story of hope triumphing over despair, of the human spirit's instinctive connection to nature, and of lifelong love prevailing over everything.

I have been intoxicated throughoutThe Salt Path and The Wild Silence, listening to Raynors beautiful voice and awareness of hers and Moth’s courageous acceptance of physical limitations and debilitating financial struggles, always positive and dynamically changing as things became serious, to find a way to struggle to the surface and take a breath together.🥰🙏

Philosphical and Couageous

I listened to both of Raynor Winn’s books on audible and the Salt Path stayed with me for a long time. I still think about their lives and that journey. I feel a calling to do a long walk of my own. When I heard she had another book I knew I had to listen. I just wish I had listened to her narrate The Salt Path, I enjoyed her narration much more. It felt more authentic or something. I hope Ray and Moth have many more years of adventure together 💜

I loved this book almost as much as The Salt Path

Raynor has written another gem here with her sequel to The Salt Path. A natural and gifted storyteller, Raynor generously shares more of her life with her beloved Moth including a fascinating walk in Iceland. Thank you Raynor - keep going! Best wishes to you & dear Moth.
