The Salt Path author defends herself against claims she misled readers
Published: 7/7/2025

Author Raynor Winn has defended herself against accusations of misleading readers about her best-selling book The Salt Path, which recounts her and her husband's journey along the South West Coast Path. Claims surfaced that elements of the book, such as her husband's illness and the events leading to their homelessness, may have been misrepresented. Despite this, Winn stands by the book as a "true story of our journey" and plans to seek legal advice in response to these allegations. The book has sold over two million copies and inspired a film adaptation, but recent investigations raise questions about the accuracy of its portrayal of the couple's experiences.
