Description

It’s the bestselling book having its own seismic plot twist. Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path spent 85 weeks in the Sunday Times bestsellers list and has just become a film.  

But her life-affirming account of how her husband’s illness and losing their money and home put them on a 630-mile coastal walk has been called into question. 

The Observer has claimed that not all of the couple’s story stacks up – something strenuously denied by the author. 

Niall goes through the claims with Sky News arts and entertainment Jayson Mansaray and hears from a journalist who has interviewed Raynor Winn, Charlotte Lytton.
