Wie Salz auf der Zunge

The sea has always had a magical pull for Charlotte Runcie - both its calming, meditative side and its wild, untamed nature. When Charlotte loses her beloved grandmother and experiences pregnancy for the first time, she feels this urge stronger than ever. In "Like Salt on the Tongue," the author not only explores her personal fascination but also writes a cultural history of the sea from a female perspective: we learn about mermaids and naiads, Greek mythology and Scottish legends, shipwrecks and sirens. "Runcie casts her net wide, combining a deeply personal memoir with profound cultural history.".
