Raynor Winn, author of bestselling memoir The Salt Path – also a film starring Gillian Anderson – has been accused of deception in her story of hardship and healing. In Winn’s account, after their “forever home” is dispossessed, she and her partner, Moth (who faces a terminal diagnosis) decide to walk the famous 630-mile South West Coast Path along the dramatic cliffs of southwestern England.
This week, an Observer investigation cast doubt over key aspects of Winn’s memoir, which has sold nearly 2 million copies worldwide.
