The Salt Path

Very nice book, but I was listening to it as an audiobook read by the author. She has a slight speech defect which made it too hard to get for me as a non native speaker. Gave up halfway. Must finish it in print.

It felt a little bit like a list at times. A list of English seaside villages where usually there were too many people, many of whom were objectionable; few places to camp and all the time being threatened by angry gulls. While it’s an emotional and at times beautiful story, it certainly didn’t inspire me to walk the path.

I felt that the writing developed through the pages, with the text being far more descriptive by the end. I bought her next two books so will see if that development continues…
