Buen Camino!

This is my third Camino book and the most enjoyable. It has just the right amount of history, scenery description, interaction with other people walking the ancient highway, and illustration of foot complaints. I loved moving between the generations, father, then daughter. It was really two books for the price of one! The stories of others walking along side or chance meetings were funny, sad, intriguing, until gradually you felt a part of the pilgrimage group. Thank you for taking me with you.

Throughly enjoyed the telling of Peter and Natasha's Camino pilgrimage. What fun it must have been for a father and his daughter to share such a magnificent adventure. I wish the pictures had been placed in the narrative instead of at the end (at least it was this way in the Kindle version), but it was still a very enjoyable read.

I was forced to SIP due to COVID-19 so my Camino trip was cancelled. This book let me fantasize that I was walking the Camino. Very enjoyable and easy to read.

GREAT INSIGHT. stories told from both the fathers point of view and his college aged, adult daughters point of view.the stories also include a fair amount of detail about the where ,and when on their Camino.also is the historical background of the Camino in general,and the places they stayed, or visited without being a high school history lesson. this is a good read.

Like many, I have read several books about the Camino. I appreciated the father/daughter perspective. I also appreciated and enjoyed the photo's. I was a tad offended by Peter's inturpretation of American's. Not sure if Peter didn't come across many American's or if he chose not to interact with us. From the 2 or 3 references to American's in this book it would appear that we are all illiterate, drug addicts, fake, with a bad sense of humor. This book is definitely not in my Camino book top 10 but not the worst I've read.

This is a very well written account of a father and daughters experiences as they walked the Camino De Santiago together. . .I especially liked how each section included the father and daughters experiences seperatly. . .The only downer for me. . .The fathers stories included a lot of the history of each particular section of the Camino they walked . . sometimes more then I cared to hear. . .but other then that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

And interesting approach. There experience from different perspectives, very personal. Nice to read about a "functional" father/daughter relationship. If you are looking for a lot of technical details, this is not the book.

This is a Camino memoir written from the perspective of a father and a daughter from the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. They start their Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella on Reek Sunday (7/25) by climbing Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, Ireland. Written from the perspective of a father and a daughter, this book is a testimony to the special bond they share. I enjoyed this book from cover to cover.

Tolles Buch und gut in leicht verständlichem Englisch geschrieben.

I've downloaded and read four Camino memoirs in the past 24 hrs and this is by far the best. Well written, vulnerable, and full of joy.

I have just recently returned from Northern Spain where I met up with my daughter undertaking the camino, meeting up in Arzua, we then finally joined her as she completed the journey in Santiago de Compostela, having attended the pilgrim's mass and witnessing at first hand the atmosphere I was somewhat overwhelmed by it all, and have to admit that I would myself like to now consider making the journey from St Jean Pied de Port in the French Pyrenees to Santiago and then on to Finisterre. Upon my return home I purchased this book and found it thoroughly absorbing, both with the historical background simplified so that it was understandable, and also I discovered in its pages how much I related to Peter Murtagh and could easily have imagined myself with my own daughter in his enviable position of being able to undertake "The Way of St. James". I read the book in a matter of days as I was unable to put it down once started, and over the past few days my younger daughter has been staying with us and she also read it from cover to cover, and found it gave a fascinating insight into the walk and what it means to so many differing people depicted in the pages, she would also consider undertaking the walk but work constraints would not allow this and sadly in these times of recession leaving a secure position and being able to return some two months later is a non starter. The book is really a must read for anyone wishing to undertake the camino de Santiago for its on the ground and reality value, it gives in quite simple terms two views of what it is all about, in Peter's case being in his fifties it gave me confidence (I am 64), that age is certainly not a barrier as long as you are reasonably fit and are sensible in your initial approach, and certainly in the first few days that is important, the second view is from Natasha who at eighteen years of age shows an incredible maturity, but also has that teenage sense of fun, challenge and aspiration, it is also refreshing to see though her eyes and read her own personal thoughts about everything around her including the relationships she formed with fellow pilgrims, this illustrates to me how much her generation are put down merely relating to her age group, when I know full well that a small minority of that generation create a stigma that has to be borne by the vast majority of sensible, fun loving kids, who are after all the future and should be treasured as such. The book whether you intend to undertake the camino or not is thoroughly readable and enjoyable, and certainly one that is a good companion to John Brierley in your preparations should you decide to undertake this epic and memorable journey, recommended.

very enjoyable read

A very good account of this father and daughter adventure on the Camino Frances. I have read this book several times now as it was one of the many I read before setting off on my own Camino journey in 2015. This is a well constructed book which I have enjoyed each time I have read it. The colour pictures add to the quality of the adventure. This book is professionally prepared just as Peter & Natasha were physically prepared for the journey which I believe is essential to fully enjoy what the Camino throws at you. The descriptions of the people they meet and friendships developed add to the overall balance to this book.
