Contraportada:

When Canadian writer and lawyer Julie Kirkpatrick decided to walk the ancient pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago in the summer of 2009 she was not looking for a life-changing experience. It was to be a holiday in the fresh air, a break from the hectic routine of her law practice and its endless to-do lists, and a chance to catch up with her teenaged daughter. Thinking that it would help to pass the time she asked 26 friends to set tasks for her – one task for each of the 26 days of the walk. At the end of each day she would write a letter to the day’s taskmaster. But the tasks came as unexpected gifts, full of meaning and love, and what began as a light-hearted diversion soon became a journey full of meaning and love. Listen to the wind. ... Immerse yourself in a litany and catalogue of self-love. ... Be an animal. ... Think of the millions who have travelled this path. ... Think of what you would be doing if you didn’t have your forty-year-old fears. ... Observe windows. Guided by her tasks and writing with breathtaking honesty, the author leads the reader on a wonderful and beautiful journey full of surprises and tears and laughter. The Camino Letters tells the story of a woman opening herself to the ever-expanding universe, listening to the music of the journey, walking out loud.
