From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project comes a heartfelt story about taking chances and learning to love again as two individuals, one mourning her husband and the other recovering from divorce, embark on the centuries-old Camino pilgrimage from France to Spain. The Chemin, or Camino de Santiago, is a historic route that attracts thousands of walkers each year, offering a unique journey through picturesque villages and busy highways. Zoe, an artist from California grappling with her husband’s sudden death, decides to walk the Camino in search of solace and direction. Meanwhile, Martin, an engineer from England, is testing a cart of his own design while navigating the aftermath of a messy divorce. Starting from the same French town, both face uncertainty about their futures. Zoe anticipates the physical challenges of her trek but is unprepared for the emotional hurdles that arise, compelling her to confront her recent loss and long-held beliefs. For Martin, the pilgrimage tests his skills and endurance while also challenging his ability to trust others—and himself—again as he grows closer to Zoe. Smart, funny, and insightful, this story reveals that the most significant journeys are not measured in miles but in the strength, wisdom, and love discovered along the way, showcasing Graeme Simsion’s charming writing style.
