<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>A lyrical exploration of the sea, how it inspires art, music and literature, and how it connects us</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br>Charlotte Runcie has always felt pulled to the sea, lured by its soothing, calming qualities but also enlivened and inspired by its salty wildness. When she loses her beloved grandmother, and becomes pregnant with her first child, she feels its pull even more intensely.</br> <br> In <i>Salt On Your Tongue</i>, a mixture of memoir, social history, literary criticism, biography and nature writing, Charlotte explores what the sea means to us, and particularly what it has meant to women through the ages. This book is a walk on the beach with Turner, Shakespeare and the first American shanty singers who set sail from New York Harbor. It's an ode to our oceans--to the sailors who brave their treacherous waters, to the women who lost their loved ones to the waves, to the creatures that dwell in their depths, to beach trawlers, swimmers, sea birds and mermaids.</br> <br> In mesmerizing prose, Charlotte Runcie explores how the sea has inspired, fascinated and terrified us, and how she herself fell in love with the deep blue. Navigating through ancient Greek myths, poetry, shipwrecks and folktales, <i>Salt On Your Tongue</i> is about how the wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human. </br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A very beautiful book about myth and motherhood--a memoir that intertwines effortlessly and poetically with tales of the sea. <i>Salt On Your Tongue</i> has a rare magic to it."----Sophie Mackintosh<br><br>"A wise and wonderful book, charting intensely personal moments against the constant yet ever-changing sea. A story of birth, loss, memory and motherhood, spliced with vivid observations of the natural world and collected myth, lore and legend.

An utterly immersive read."----Jess Kidd, author of Himself<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br>Charlotte Runcie is a columnist for the <i>Daily Telegraph</i> and for <i>Prospect</i> magazine. <i>Salt On Your Tongue</i> is her first book. </br> <br> @charlotteruncie charlotteruncie.com</br>
