Author of best-seller The Salt Path accused of embezzling money before losing house

The Salt Path author has been accused of embezzling money from a former employer and inventing the reason she and her husband lost their home, which inspired their best-selling memoir.

In the 2018 book, which has since been adapted into a film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, it is claimed that Raynor and Moth Winn undertook the 630-mile walk along the South West Coast Path after they lost their home following a failed business venture with a friend. The book also details Moth’s illness, when he was diagnosed with a fatal neurological condition, called corticobasal degeneration, also known as CBD.
