Raynor Winn’s “The Salt Path” Book Publication Delayed
According to cinemadrame News Agency, the publication of bestselling author Raynor Winn’s new book, “The Salt Path,” has been postponed by Penguin Random House due to recent controversies surrounding the accuracy of claims made in her memoirs.
Penguin Random House announced that the release of Raynor Winn’s new book, titled “On Winter Hill,” is being delayed due to reports questioning the veracity of the content in her 2018 bestselling memoir, “The Salt Path.” According to the publisher, this decision was made to support the author.
“The Salt Path” narrates the 630-mile journey of Raynor Winn and her husband, Moth; a journey that began after they lost their home and Moth was diagnosed with an incurable illness.
However, last week, The Observer published an investigative report alleging that Winn had misrepresented the circumstances of their homelessness and the loss of their home, and even raised doubts about the accuracy of Moth’s diagnosis.
Raynor Winn recently responded to many of these accusations with a detailed statement, providing medical letters to explain her husband’s health condition.
According to The Guardian, Penguin Random House also responded to the recent controversies in a statement: “In light of recent events, especially the intrusive speculation surrounding Moth’s health, which has caused Raynor Winn and her family extreme distress, our priority right now is to support the author. As such, Penguin Random House, in agreement with the author, has decided to postpone the publication of her new book, ‘On Winter Hill,’ which was scheduled for October. A new publication date will be announced soon.”
“On Winter Hill” was intended to be Raynor Winn’s fourth book. She had previously published three books: “The Salt Path,” “The Wild Silence,” and “Landlines.” Her first book, “The Salt Path,” received widespread acclaim and has sold over two million copies worldwide to date.
