Interesting title. This was one of those books that I just
dove right into before knowing what it was about. My parents had given me the
book and both had really enjoyed it so that was a decent vote of confidence.
Jane Christmas wanted to do something big and unique for her
fiftieth birthday. While travelling on a plane to and indulging in some store
bought wine, she catches the attention of a flight attendant. After
reprimanding Jane for her vino, the attendant mentions a famous pilgrimage in
Spain. The idea takes root within Jane and the next thing she knows she has 10
other women signed up and ready to hike Spain’s infamous Camino de Santiago de
Compostela!
Before leaving for her journey, Jane visits a psychic who
basically tells her she is going to have an awful time with this group of
women, she is going to lose some jewellery, she will encounter a celebrity,
have a visit from death and meet a hair-haired man.
The book details her physical struggles on this pilgrimage,
the wonderful (and not so wonderful) relationships she makes and her own personal
ups and downs. Told with a great sense of humour, this book was very
entertaining and enjoyable. I don’t think I will be hiking the “Camino” anytime
soon but hats off to Jane Christmas for doing it!
