So enlightening
Louise Sommer takes us along on her extraordinary journey on the Camino Way. This is not just a simple travel memoir, it's a deeply personal treatise on women in Christianity and how our involvement at the heart of the Catholic Church has changed and been manipulated over time. It's also a How To guide with useful advice and lists for those wanting to follow her amazing journey. Entertaining stuff!

Different Camino book. I enjoyed her descriptions of interesting sites and routes along the way. I like how she advocated for people doing the Camino their way so long as they keep in mind not to ruin the experience for others. I may not understand or comprehend some of her references to the goddess but overall a good read.

I bought this book on my I Kindle Fire and whomever was responsible for the translation did an appauling job. Simple words like "The" are misspelled, and the spacing is horrid - wish I had known before bying it.
The story so far is good, but I cannot read it for long since it is so filled with errors. :(
