Recensioner

As expected in a travel memoir, this book provides insight to hiking the Camino, a large dose of history, and inner thoughts of the author. While it was pleasant to read, it didn't keep my attention. I found the history to be more interesting than the stories of the road and reflections.

As someone who has long been intrigued by the Camino and also by the symbolism of geese/swans and other birds in art and history, I thought this book would be right up my alley, and I wasn't wrong. What a thoughtful memoir. It brought her journey alive for me and gave me lots to think about.

I have friends of friends who have made the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. My husband and I enjoyed hearing aspects of their journey. We then found the movie - The Way - about a man who walked the Camino to honor his son. (Highly recommend!)

When I saw this book, I was excited to read about another pilgrim on this journey. When the book arrived, it was MUCH longer than I had expected. Since I am a person who usually enjoys big thick books, I began reading. I never really could get into it. I'm not really sure why, either.

I did enjoy some of the little homey things, like emailing her family, descriptions of some meals eaten, laundry, and other things that happen daily.

I have not completed this book and may not complete it. Maybe if I keep plugging along at some point, I will finish reading it. When I do, I will come back here and revise my review.

A New Age take on the traditional Catholics pilgrimage route across southern France and northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago – the Way of St. James. Partly travel writing, part spiritual journey, part simply taking adventure where you find it. Not recommended if you are just looking for a how-to guide to Camino de Santiago.
