This book is an inspirational journey along the old pilgrimage route to Spain's Santiago de Compostela. Tom Davis brings to vivid life every sight and sound along the way and the memorable characters he meets: the Dutch policeman trying to mend a broken heart, the four priests cleansing the road with their prayers, the Spanish family leading their blind father, and the French truck driver who managed to get run over by his own runaway wheel. This is travel writing inspired by the finest traditions of pilgrimage, with the perils and twists of a modern journey bringing this great Road to life.
