When Andrew McCarthy’s son Sam was nineteen, the duo accepted the challenge of the Camino de Santiago. If you aren’t familiar with this, it’s literally a walk across Spain from the French border to Santiago, Spain. Travellers are issued a passport that must be stamped at each stop along the way. And “the Way” is 484 miles long, thus not for the faint of heart. But many who have walked it agree that it was a life-changing experience, McCarthy included. I enjoyed his account of the walk, from personality issues with his son to the difficult relationship that he had with his own father. I found it a heart-warming and easy read and would highly recommend it.
