Raynor Winn/Sally Walker issues Statement

I think naivety comes from wanting the world to be a good place, cynicism comes from realising it isn't.

Does cynicism come with sagacity and great age? Sometimes, although I’m very trusting to the point of gullibility, I feel like that.

Very disappointed in this couple. I was brought up to trust people but realise that you can't trust anyone now.

Isn’t it funny how you get feelings. I did about Captain Toms daughter and when reading all about The Salt Path I did get the same feeling about this lady but can’t put my finger on why
I can’t believe the Observer would publish all those details without proof or they would be sued and completely wrung out They must be pretty sure of their facts they are not such a sensational paper as some of the other newspapers

People can be so gullible. It reminds me of the Captain Tom debacle.
Sometimes I think I'm too cynical, but then I realise I just have good instincts...

I agree. Something as in the Major Tom affair made me feel uncomfortable
Apart from the descriptions of their walks, nothing seemed to add up, when I read the book. I think that, I too, have good instincts.
It was our book group choice a couple of years ago. One of our members, who is blind, said that she had never “read” such a lot of twaddle! I agreed with her.

Can issue all the statements they want. I neither read the overhyped book nor watched the overhyped film. I hope the money was worth it for them as they have no friends and no credibility left.

The Rest is Entertainment podcast is discussing it this week with some interesting insights into the world of publishing.

It’s too late for that to happen Oreo. It’s been out for a few weeks, I read yesterday that it’s the third most successful UK film of 2025 already, it’s taken millions at the box office. I can’t see it going much further now though.

People can be so gullible. It reminds me of the Captain Tom debacle.

I think the damage is done now, and the situation isn’t that portrayed in the book, or certainly not quite the same.The film will tank.
