Two steps forward / Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist, 366 pgs.
Artist Zoe is reeling from the death of her husband and decides to reconnect with her friend from college. Martin is reeling from a difficult divorce and impending unemployment. They both end up hiking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, a path through France and Spain that attracts pilgrims. This walk will change your life. Told in alternating perspectives, Zoe and Martin cross paths with each other and a larger set of interesting characters. They stop and start a bit of a romance but the interesting parts are about the walk and the relationships with others along the way. Not as good as Simsion's The Rosie Project and maybe a little too long, I was intrigued that the author's have done the hike themselves.
