Hi Jessica,
That was part of the original inspiration for the novel. A twelfth-century manuscript about the pilgrimage called the Codex Calixtinus has a line in it saying it was written in part by someone named Gebirga of Flanders. So I had to figure out what might make a woman in Flanders become interested in the journey to Santiago. The answer to that became my story.
