Two steps forward. Graeme Simsion & Anne Buist. 2017.

Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past-for Zoe, the death of her husband, for Martin, a messy divorce. 

Looking to make a new start, each sets out alone to walk two thousand kilometres from Cluny to Santiago, in northwest Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who havve walked the Camino-the Way-for centuries.

The Camino changes you, it’s said. It’s a chance to find a new version of yourself. But can these two very different people find each other?
