Author Raynor Winn has been accused of fabricating or giving misleading information about some elements of her best-selling book The Salt Path.The 2018 book, and recent film adaptation, told the story of a couple who decide to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path after their home is repossessed.

The Salt Path – the hit book series, which was recently turned into a feature-length film – received a whole lot of attention over the weekend, when questions were raised about the validity of its contents.

An investigation by The Observer found some of Raynor Winn's claims about her husband's illness and the events that led to the couple losing their home were misrepresented. The author says the article is "highly misleading".
