pattydsf 's review for:
Serendipity has brought the Camino de Santiago to my attention this fall. First of all, I saw the movie, The Way, with my vocation group. Then a good friend announced on Facebook that he was going to walk the Camino. Later that week, when I was in the library I found this book. I had heard of this pilgrimage before, but synchronicity helped it bubble back into my awareness.
Egan was in graduate school when she walked the Camino. I am guessing about 30 years younger than I am now. I am grateful for her story since i doubt The Way is in my future. I managed to complete a 5K walk last week, but that is the extent of my walking range.
Egan did a good job of taking her experience and relating it in a way that others could connect to it. Her knowledge of the history of the Camino was especially interesting.
I would recommend this to viewers of Martin Sheen's movie, to anyone interested in a first hand experience of the Camino and to readers of memoirs.
