Salt On Your Tongue: Women and the Sea

'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...
