Story
When faced with an empty nest, Kari decides to spread her wings. Giving up a job she loves, she sets off to walk across a whole country. A big one. A contemporary take on an ancient experience, Pilgrim is an entertaining and moving memoir of Kari’s 900-kilometer walk to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In classic pilgrim fashion, she meets and befriends an array of companions along the way, from all walks of life, united by a common sincerity of purpose. Battling through sun and snow, mud and mountains, blisters and bedbugs, her real destination turns out to be "deep peace".

Story
What would you do if you're given a €20 note in Greece with an email address scribbled on it: Spend it, slip the suspect counterfeit bill into an enemy’s birthday card, or send an email, hoping it will lead to you finding everlasting love? Brad, a hopeless romantic, chose the latter. Two years later, his love life remains a disaster and his career is misfiring. As he’s about to walk Spain’s fabled Camino de Santiago to ponder some profound life changes, Brad receives a reply.

Leaving a highly visible job took some courage, but Tracy Pawelski knew it was time. As she looked out on her horizon, her next step crystallized. She would join her 21-year-old daughter on a once-in-a-lifetime walk across Spain called El Camino de Santiago.

Keith Foskett was the definition of restless. Drifting aimlessly, he knew a piece was missing from his life. But when a stranger in a Greek bar tells him about a world-famous pilgrim’s trail, the chance encounter sets Foskett’s life in a new 1,000-mile direction. On El Camino de Santiago, the wanderer copes with extreme temperatures, fake faith healers, and insatiable kleptomaniacs. Threatened with arrest for "not sleeping" and suffering with excruciating blisters, Foskett pushes himself to new limits. Can he find what he’s looking for and make it to the other side?

At the school gate, when she accidentally kissed one new friend on the nose and called another a "beautiful man-horse", Rachael realized that small-town France could hardly be more different to Australia. The smell of cigarettes replaced the tang of bone-broth and sprouted sourdough, the neighbors sometimes came to blows and under no circumstances would anyone wear active wear in public. Muddling through in terrible French pushed Rachael's family to their limits. Some days, everybody cried and ate their feelings with croissants. But the town of Sommières embraced these ragtag Australians.

Story
'There is only one book to a man,' Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden, his most ambitious novel. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity; the inexplicability of love and the murderous consequences of love's absence.

Publisher's Summary
Pilgrim seeks sinners for mutually beneficial arrangement. Tireless. Result-oriented. Reliable. Seven Deadlies a specialty.
On her 1,300 kilometre pilgrimage from Granada to Galicia, Ailsa Piper carried an unusual cargo. Walking in the tradition of medieval believers who paid others to carry their sins, Ailsa lugged a swag of confessions from friends, colleagues and strangers.
Although some days her load weighed heavy, Ailsa's story celebrates impossible kindnesses, the wonders of Spain and the simple but profound act of putting one foot in front of another for as long as it takes. Praying with her feet...
Audio exclusive: Ailsa Piper in conversation with Tony Doherty, coauthor of The Attachment: Letters from a Most Unlikely Friendship.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book - the narration was amazing. I listened to this on my drive to Sydney and back and the descriptions Ailsa talks about you can see vividly. Very entertaining!

A treasure that belies its initially curious title
Ailsa’s melodious voice is so easy to listen to, telling her own story.
A great story, offering new perspectives on walking a Camino.

So very much in common.
I have read a number of Camino books ( I have walked the full Camino 4 times)but this with out doubt reflects the true story of the Camino it brings to life the daily wander towards Santiago, it reflects on the friendships found and lost on the Way, the kindness of the Spanish people. Well done your story bought back so so many memories of friends. Thank you from down Apollo Bay way. Waiting to walk my 5th.

Walked with her
Alisa’s writing was so expressive; I could feel the sun’s heat, the wind’s cooling breezes and hear all of the accents of fellow pilgrims on the Camino. Having done the 100km journey, I long more than ever to do the whole ‘way’, knowing the challenges that I will face, but more so looking forward to the time to be alone with my thoughts, with nature and to feel the love of God, (even though she often doubts her faith, which we all do!) I am so thankful for this book, for her sharing her journey, and a piece of herself. Definitely not selfish. ;)

Fascinating Story!
I am planning on doing the Camino in my future so I am reading as many books as I could on the camino and got across this one. The story is really fascinating and refreshing because I have never heard of people willing to pay to carry their sins until santiago de Compostela. The story telling is great, original, personal and touching in many parts. The only thing I did not enjoy much was the narration of the story, probably due to the Australian accent of the narrator make it hard to understand since I am not so used to australian speaking narrator at all. It could be a great idea to have a professional narrator so this great ideal could have a better impact. This book is great, but please get a professional narrator to get the story across

Heart warming story narrated by the author herself
The audio book is recorded by author herself which is an honest reflection of the story she is telling, you could not feel but close to her own emotions in that moment. She opens her heart and her life through circa 40 days of walking through one of the many routes of the Camino de Santiago.
