Salt on Your Tongue: Women and the Sea

In Salt on Your Tongue: Women and the Sea, author 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.

Navigating ancient Greek myths, poetry, shipwrecks and Scottish folktales, she shows how the wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human.
