Summary: double pilgrimage
Comment: Yes, I loved it. This tag-team memoir takes readers along on an honest, humorous, happy walk, all the way across the Pyrenees from France and across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. Along the way (and the phrase is used honestly here) we hear the thoughts of each writer, father and daughter, as they take turns telling the story of their journey. Recommended for everyone who has ever thought of taking off -- and taking on new meaning.
Brian Bouldrey's anthology on pilgrimage, John Steinbeck's memoir "Travels with Charley" -- name your favorite precedent. Then go.
At this writing I remember Donald's rueful pain at blisters and over-preparation, and Maria's guiding him (c'mon, dad!) through city and countryside. ...

Summary: Walking on different levels to Santiago
Comment: This certainly one-read book about a pilgrimage to Santiago, reveals not only part of the daily pleasures and horrors to a pilgrim (very recognisable for pilgrims) and gives an occasional sight at the history of the Camino for more than 1300 years; it also gives a good account of the interchange between a blister stricken father and a daugher scared for a shortage of beds to sleep at night. This all set in an entertaining "dialog of chapters" written by Dad and Daughter and the questions they carry with them to Santiago.

Summary: A Journey on Many Levels
Comment: My Father, My Daughter is a delightful read. I happily went through it in a single sitting. The authors strike a lovely balance between glimpses of what happens on the walk itself, their companions and surroundings--what happens between them as this adult daughter and father grow in their knowledge and love of each other--and what happens within them as they live and reflect on their hopes for this walking experience. It is a pilgrim journey on several levels and I am grateful they have shared it with us. Thanks to the Schells!
