Summary: Two individuals take on the two thousand kilometre Camino walk. Told from the perspective of each, the story outlines their journey, physical, geographical, and emotional, on the three-month trek.
Thoughts: From the author of The Rosie Project (brilliant), and The Rosie Effect (not so brilliant). Alternating chapters voice the thoughts of Martin and Zoe – why they’re doing the trek, the physical and emotional challenges, the people they meet along the way, and whether the journey achieves what they were expecting. Mildly interesting. Slightly implausible. Good for a holiday read, but not much more. Made me wonder why someone would take on such a strenuous physical endeavour, but thousands do it every year, for various reasons.
