Then you wouldn't like this one either, mrsgreenfingers56. 😁

Personally, the langauge doesn't bother me at all. To me, it is just a word, and if that is what she / they are saying or thinking in real life, I much prefer it to be used in the book rather than some tame, sanitised alternative. But I know that I too would definitely be using the F word in similar circumstances.

No, haven't read it but did read The Salt Path. Her over use of the F word is putting me off reading the next book to be truthful. Just not necessary. But did admire what they did when they lost their home.

Has anyone else read this yet?

I have just finished it.

Moth's health sounds to have deteriorated very badly since The Salt Path, and this latest walk sounded almost unbearably gruelling for both of them, taking every ounce of both their physical and their mental strength and determination!

I found the ending amazing, though, and really does give a lot of food for thought.
