Author Raynor Winn's new book has been delayed because questions about her bestselling work The Salt Path have caused her and her husband "considerable distress", her publisher has said. Penguin Michael Joseph said the decision to postpone the publication of her fourth book, On Winter Hill, had been made with Winn.

The author of The Salt Path has admitted she made “mistakes” during an embezzlement row with her former boss. Raynor Winn’s memoir tells the story of how the author and her husband, Moth, walked the 630-mile South West Coast Path after their home was repossessed and Moth was diagnosed with a degenerative disease.

Penguin Books has said it will delay publication of author Raynor Winn's next book following allegations she fabricated parts of her first memoir
