An ode to the ocean, and the generations of women drawn to the waves or
left waiting on the shore' Guardian In Salt On Your Tongue, Charlotte
Runcie explores what the sea means to us, and particularly what it has
meant to women through the ages. In mesmerising prose, she explores how
the sea has inspired, fascinated and terrified us, and how she herself
fell in love with the deep blue. This book is a walk on the beach with
Turner, with Shakespeare, with the Romantic Poets and shanty-singers.
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 beachcombers, swimmers,
seabirds and mermaids. Navigating through ancient Greek myths, poetry,
shipwrecks and Scottish folktales, Salt On Your Tongue is about how the
wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human.
