The Year We Seized the Day
By Elizabeth Best and Colin Bowles
This book is about two authors who randomly decide to walk the El Camino together. I've read quite a few Camino books already. This one was firmly rooted in the reality of the walk, though most of them are: the blisters, the physical challenges, the alberges, other pilgrims, the food, the wine, and the walking, everything that makes the pilgrimage a trial and ultimately, and on arrival at the cathedral, a triumph.
These two take the pilgrimage to another level, both overcoming extreme physical and emotional burdens that ultimately lead them to the cathedral at Santiago. The book is written in short sections, as they alternate their description of their personal journey, and their journey together.
Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: Yes.
