Bara några dagar efter att Raynor Winn får veta att Moth, hennes man sedan 32 år, är dödssjuk, tas deras hus och gård ifrån dem, tillsammans med deras levebröd. De har förlorat allt och utan tid att fundera tar de det modiga och impulsiva beslutet att gå den 100 mil långa, havssvepta South West Coast Path, från Somerset till Dorset, genom Devon och Cornwall.

De bär bara det allra nödvändigaste på ryggen och sover i tält i det uråldriga, väderbitna landskapet med klippor, hav och himmel. Men genom varje steg, varje möte och varje prövning på vägen blir deras vandring en tänkvärd och livsbejakande resa. Saltstigen är kraftfullt skriven och orubbligt ärlig, och i slutändan en skildring av hemmet hur det kan gå förlorat, byggas om och återupptäckas på de mest oväntade sätt.

Raynor Winn, född 1962, långdistansvandrare och författare. Hon skriver om naturen, hemlöshet och vår relation till den naturliga världen. Hon bor i Cornwall med sin man Moth.
