Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing | Lake Union Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Suzanne Redfearn. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Reina Watkins is still grieving her father who died when she was eight. Now a copyeditor looking for her journalism break, she ends up with the assignment to write about walking the 5--mile Camino de Santiago in Spain. Decades ago, her father made the same trip, and we get to learn his adventures through Isabelle, a young woman on the run. One woman is coming to grips with her past; the other is grasping for her future.
This was a wonderful, totally immersive story told from these two women's POV a generation apart. Both seeking a new life, they come to learn so much about themselves over their pilgrimage. I loved the community both women encountered on their walk, teaching us all that we need friends to help us along the way. The descriptions of the walk and scenery were amazing, and you'll really feel like you are along for the ride (minus horrible blisters and other ailments!). Great story!
