Description

Charlotte Runcie's lyrical exploration of human connection to the sea is a deeply personal and thought-provoking journey. Through a rich tapestry of Greek myths, poetry, sea shanties, folktales, and more, she navigates the complex and often contradictory relationships we have with the ocean.

This book is a celebration of the sea's power to inspire, fascinate, and terrify us, as well as its role in shaping our lives and our understanding of ourselves. With mesmerising prose, Runcie explores the ways in which the sea has drawn women to its shores, and the ways in which it has left its mark on our lives.

Part meditation, part exploration, Salt on Your Tongue is a deeply human and deeply oceanic book that invites readers to reflect on their own relationships with the natural world.
