In a bustling Waterstones in London, nestled among the popular non-fiction display, lies an unassuming 288-page book written by a 63-year-old woman that has sparked a media firestorm.
The Salt Path, a cosy, heartwarming memoir about a couple who undertake a 630-mile trek of England’s southern coast after being left homeless, financially destitute, and with a potentially fatal medical diagnosis, sold two million copies and was adapted into a film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. The book, written by author Raynor Winn, spawned two sequels with a third available for pre-order.
