The story revolving around two women decades apart, and a host of supplementary characters all linked to the precarious and tiring pilgrimage of trekking five hundred miles to the Cathedral of St James at the end.
One woman Reina is trying to walk the footsteps of her father, and Isabelle is trying to escape the horrors of a vendetta.
The story goes week by week, each very descriptive. Each week outlines characters all part of the pilgrimage and each contributing much to the overall story. The grandeur of the setting whether flat desert land or steep mountains were vividly detailed and brought the scenes to life. It also highlighted frailties of humans who undertook the journey, if you were spiritual or not the journey changed you. The two timelines of the story were not jarring and worked well together.
I enjoyed the entire story as a whole. Having read of the Camino and having seen the Cathedral the story brought the entire pilgrimage to life.
