Description

Charlotte Runcie's "Salt On Your Tongue: Women & the Sea" is a lyrical exploration of the profound and often mystical connection between women and the ocean. Through a tapestry of myths, folklore, and personal reflection, the book delves into how the sea has shaped female identity, creativity, and spirituality across cultures and throughout history.

This evocative work celebrates the enduring allure of the sea and its deep resonance within the female experience.

I enjoyed reading this & it covered a lot of themes, but this is more of an autobiography of someone coming to terms with the loss of a loved one and their pregnancy than women and the sea.
