After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend's apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it. Leaving felt less like a risk than a necessity. What follows is a decadent, joyful, unexpected journey into one woman's pursuit of radical enjoyment.

Un pellegrinaggio lungo 900 chilometri, sui passi degli antichi pellegrini che percorrevano la via Francigena. Un pellegrinaggio è molto più che un viaggio a piedi, e un viaggio a piedi è molto più che un viaggio. Il mondo che si attraversa , che sia asfalto, natura, città, paesi, chiese, alberghi o poveri ostelli, risuona con il viandante e forma un’unica sinfonia le cui parole sono i pensieri, le emozioni, le preghiere, i sogni.

"Det er en myte, at solen altid skinner i Provence, som den nobelprisbelønnede digter Fréderic Mistral kaldte for solens rige. Det er en myte, at der ikke kan falde sne i et subtropisk klima, og at man på disse breddegrader ikke risikerer at opleve en kulde, som bider i kinder og næse. Hvis man vil elske Provence, denne mangfoldige sydfranske provins, må man lære også at elske eller i det mindste tolerere et klima, som undertiden kan være mere omskifteligt og lunefuldt, end man forestiller sig.
