- Baker & Taylor
An artist reeling from her husband's unexpected death and an engineer recovering from his divorce follow the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail from France to Spain, tackling challenges and their own difficulties along the way. - Baker & Taylor
Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, amessy divorce. Looking to make a new start, each sets out alone to walk 2000 kilometres from Cluny to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who have walked the Camino (the Way) for centuries. The Camino changes you, it's said. It's a chance to find a new version of yourself, and a new beginning. But can these two very different people find themselves? Will they find each other? - Baker & Taylor
An artist reeling from her husband's sudden death and an engineer recovering from a messy divorce embark on the centuries-old Camino de Santiago pilgrim route from France to Spain, tackling unanticipated challenges and their own difficulties with trusting strangers along the way. 30,000 first printing. - HARPERCOLL
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project comes a story of taking chances and learning to love again as two people, one mourning her husband and the other recovering from divorce, cross paths on the centuries-old Camino pilgrimage from France to Spain.
âThe Chemin will change you. It changes everyoneâ¦â
The Chemin, also known as the Camino de Santiago, is a centuries-old pilgrim route that ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Every year, thousands of walkersâsome devout, many notâfollow the route that wends through quaint small villages and along busy highways alike, a journey unlike any other.
Zoe, an artist from California whoâs still reeling from her husbandâs sudden death, has impulsively decided to walk the Camino, hoping to find solace and direction. Martin, an engineer from England, is road-testing a cart of his own designâ¦and recovering from a messy divorce. They begin in the same French town, each uncertain of what the future holds. Zoe has anticipated the physical difficulties of her trek, but she is less prepared for other challenges, as strangers and circumstances force her to confront not just recent loss, but long-held beliefs. For Martin, the pilgrimage is a test of his skills and endurance but also, as he and Zoe grow closer, of his willingness to trust othersâand himselfâagain.
Smart and funny, insightful and romantic, Two Steps Forward reveals that the most important journeys we make arenât measured in miles, but in the strength, wisdom, and love found along the way. Fans of The Rosie Project will recognize Graeme Simsionâs uniquely quirky and charming writing style.
