Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders- 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories

Sinds Raynor en haar man Moth hun huis kwijtraakten en alleen met een rugzak en een tentje de bijna duizend kilometer aflegden van het South West Coast Path, en ze maandenlang leefden aan de wilde en winderige kustlijn van Engeland, voelen de kliffen, de lucht en de rotsachtige bodem aan als hun thuis. Moth had een terminale diagnose, maar tegen elke medische verwachting in lijkt hij in de natuur te zijn opgeleefd. Zo ontdekken Raynor en Moth op de ruige strook tussen land en zee dat alles mogelijk is. Als ze uiteindelijk terugkomen in de bewoonde wereld, blijkt een dak boven je hoofd nog geen thuis. De terugkeer naar een normaal bestaan blijft moeilijk – totdat een ongelooflijk gebaar van iemand die hun verhaal heeft gelezen alles anders maakt. De kans nieuw leven te blazen in een prachtige, oude boerderij diep in de heuvels van Cornwall en het door landbouw verarmde land stukje bij beetje terug te geven aan de natuur, wordt hun redding. Het wordt het nieuwe pad dat zij volgen. De wilde stilte is een verhaal van hoop, en van een levenslange liefde die sterker is dan al het andere. Het is een even helder als fijnzinnig verhaal over de instinctieve verbinding tussen onze ziel en de natuur, en hoe belangrijk die is voor ons allemaal.
