Overview
- The publisher’s website lists a new release date of January 27, 2028 for On Winter Hill.
- The nonfiction follow-up had been slated for October 2026 after an earlier postponement.
- Penguin Michael Joseph previously said it delayed the book to support the author in the face of speculation about Tim ‘Moth’ Walker’s diagnosis.
- The Observer’s 2025 investigation questioned elements of The Salt Path, including claims of embezzlement and Moth’s illness, which Winn has rejected as grotesquely unfair and countered with medical letters.
- A Sky Documentaries film amplified family doubts, while industry figures warn the dispute is eroding trust in nonfiction as The Salt Path’s two‑million‑plus sales and 2024 film adaptation keep the stakes high.
