I've never walked the Camino but this book REALLY inspired me!
The descriptions of the beautiful sites coupled with the building of characters and how each of them relate to each other, and their emotional growth as individuals absolutely transported me.
This isn't just a book, it's a journey.
I enjoyed this book immensely. I have a!ways wanted to walk the Camino and this story made me feel like I was actually there.
I know this isn't a memoir, but it does read like one - one that I wish was mine!
I hadn't heard of the Camino, but the development of trust that builds through the story allows us to learn more and more about these women (and the Camino) until I got to the point where I was walking beside them. I became so immersed in the story that I became one of them, so I couldn't put it down and ended up with an all-nighter to see us reach our goal :-).
Looking forward to Book 2!
