Pardon my Camino

Summary

Bob and Brigit, a Canadian couple, have managed to screw up their previously successful lives when a wild investment in GoldRush, a mining company, lands the family in deep debt. Brigit is a heroine through it all, we might say a heroine-martyr. The debt paid off, and Brigit persuades Bob they need to hike the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail. Bob is all up for some European sophistication and good times. Grand idea, but if crossing mountain passes, sleepless hours in noisy hostels and getting separated on the trail were their only challenges, they would surely have pulled through, but now, they must deal with old and new secrets that the trail churns up.

There is energy and humour and lessons learnt, often in unexpected ways, from other pilgrims, local people, monks, nuns and history. Pardon my Camino is a thoughtful and humorous, better-late-than-never coming-of-age story, that will keep you laughing, concerned, engaged, and entertained and carry you off on an adventure in Spain to follow the trail.
