Aye Write Raynor Winn & Charlotte Runcie

Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow G3 7DN
The Salt and the Sea
Just days after Raynor Winn learned that her husband of 32 years, was terminally ill, their home was taken away. With nothing left and little time, they made the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept coast path from Somerset to Dorset, resulting in The Salt Path which was shortlisted for the
COSTA Biography award.
In Salt On Your Tongue Charlotte Runcie explores what the sea has meant to women through the ages. Using ancient Greek myths, poetry, shipwrecks and Scottish folktales, she shows how the wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human.
Chaired By Sara Davies.
