Blurb
With her oldest son taking a gap year in Europe, her ageing father losing his sight and his memory, and her husband of twenty years announcing that he's leaving her, Abbie Jowett is surrounded by overwhelming loss.
Desperate to mend her marriage and herself, she follows her son, Bobby, to walk the famed Camino pilgrimage. During their journey, they encounter Rasa, an Iranian woman working in secret helping other refugees, and Caroline, a journalist who is studying pilgrims on the Camino while searching for answers from her broken past.
Each individual has their own reasons for the pilgrimage, but together they learn that the Camino strips you bare and calls you into deep soul-searching that can threaten all your best-laid plans.
Elizabeth Musser, an Atlanta native, lives and works with her husband in southern France. She is the author of 11 novels, including the critically acclaimed The Swan House and When I Close My Eyes.
What Did I Think
I wasn't sure what to expect but had read some glowing reviews over on Amazon.
In hindsight it probably would have been best to have read the previous 2 books before starting this one as the same charaters are in all the books
It follows 3 characters as they walk the Camino Trail in France - each although on the same physical journey all on different emotional journeys.
Well written although the spiritual side of the story really wasn't for me.
