The family of Martin Hemmings, who accused The Salt Path author Raynor Winn of stealing £64,000 from his business in 2008, have said that trusting her was their “greatest mistake”.
Winn has been under fire after an Observer investigation found apparent inconsistencies in her bestselling memoir, which follows her and her husband, Moth, on a 630-mile trek of England’s southern coast after being left homeless and financially destitute after a bad investment.
