I felt really torn giving this book this rating as I loved a lot of it. I loved the premise of the book- walking to try and reverse a chronic, degenerative disease. As someone with a chronic illness, it spoke of hope, and has made me very thoughtful, wondering whether immersing myself in nature could help my conditions.

He can't make it from the house to the orchard without falling over. The couple have two options, they can either sit at home and wait for Moth to die slowly or they risk everything again and do another mammoth walk, hoping that it will keep his condition at bay like it did in the past. Ray's third book begins with Moth's deteriorating health. She somehow convinces him to walk 200 miles of Scotland in the hope his health will improve as it did on the south coast path. Slowly they trample their way through Scottish wilderness, in a mid-Covid landscape of extremes - some people refuse to even serve them food, while others go out of their way to help them.

The cover of the book is amazing as were her other books. Raynor Winn is an absolutely first class author. Her books are my absolute favourites. Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he - can he? - set out with her on another healing walk? An inspiring and beautifully written story of hope and healing. We, her readers, are privileged to walk alongside her. Countryfile Ik zit een beetje tussen twee en drie sterren in bij dit boek. Voor een deel gelden voor dit boek dezelfde opmerkingen die ik deels bij de andere delen al beschreven heb. De beschrijvingen van de natuur zijn mooi, maar je krijgt niet echt zicht op de twee hoofdpersonen, Ray en Moth. Verder vond ik het hele boek nogal deprimerend doordat de ontberingen die beide wandelaars moeten doorstaan de mooie momenten overschaduwen. Het verhaal is bijna een aaneenschakeling van regen, storm, muggen, steekvliegen en kapotte voeten. Het boek nodigt niet uit tot wandelen. Verder doet de informatie over de verschillende streken en dorpen nogal encyclopedisch aan en komen de filosofische opmerkingen mbt actuele onderwerpen zoals klimaat, Corona en Brexit nogal pathetisch over.
