About this listen

Zoe, a sometime artist from California, has recently lost her husband. Martin, an engineer from Yorkshire, is alone after a messy divorce. Both have ended up in Cluny, central France, on a separate journey to walk the Camino: 2,000 kilometres to Santiago, in northwestern Spain.

The Camino changes you, it's said. It's a chance to find a new version of yourself. But can these two very different people find each other?

Loved it. Inspiration, wit, great character development and fun without being a Disney romance. I fell across this audiobook at the same time as meeting a friend’s husband who walked the French way following his son’s death. Graeme is a favourite author of mine. We have even met. I lost my love of 42 years in 2021. The book and the mission for change has inspired me to take on the challenge my soul needs. I’ve even rung my travel agent. Buen Camino!

Deserves its own movie.

It took me a while to not find the characters irritating. But towards the end everything came together well and I was left with a wholesoom good feeling.

It took a while to get into this with all the various characters. Yet I persisted and found it both inspirational and entertaining.
As someone who dreams of doing such a walk, I found that it has given me hope of doing so.
At the end I really wanted the story to be real!
Highly recommend...

A delightful story that kept me interested until the end. Zthe narration was lovely, with two different voices telling perspective from two different characters. Easy storyline, not a challenging read, but a lot of fun.

Delightful story

This story was great I really enjoyed the narration of both narrators all but Jeromes attempt at a 17 year old Brazilian girl, not cool at all, story sparks a feeling of wouldn’t it be fun to attempt a walk/pilgrimage of sorts 🥴

I so enjoyed this book and wished I had had the opportunity to walk this trail. It was a lovely jaunt to take with Zoe and Martin, hearing about the view, the hostels, the food, the people even in a fictional way. I immediately downloaded the follow up.

Enter the Camino de Santiago!!
