Raynor Winn with Marianne Elliott and Elizabeth Karlsen

Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path was published in 2018 by Penguin Michael Joseph to universal acclaim. Now adapted for a major film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, the story is set to hit our screens on the 30th May. In this unmissable event with the award-winning author and the film’s director Marianne Elliott and producer Elizabeth Karlsen, they discuss the book and the process of adapting it for the screen, showing clips from the upcoming film.

Winn’s inspirational combination of memoir, nature and travel writing tells the true story of how, just days after she learns that her husband Moth is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the desperate decision to walk the 630 miles of the South West Coast Path, in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance.
