Santiago Tales — Joan Fallon
Beth is a woman who takes life on the chin but when she discovers that the cancer has returned she cannot face any more treatment. She decides to keep the news from her husband and her son and get away from it all. All she wants is to be on her own. She embarks on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela not knowing what she will find on the way nor how long it will take her.
On her journey she meets other pilgrims, a soldier, a retired policeman, a marketing executive and others, each with their own story to tell and each looking for something. After five hundred miles and five weeks of walking across northern Spain she arrives in Santiago de Compostela, a changed woman.
By the time she returns home she is no longer afraid and is able to face whatever life has in store for her once more.
SANTIAGO TALES is a novel loosely based on Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'.
