The Pilgrims Table: A Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage - Paperback

by Kevin Donahue (Author)

Five strangers, and one communal meal, and a conversation that changes everything.

It's a story about the challenges we carry, the questions we haven't answered, and the strangers who sometimes see us best.

A Boston woman who has just walked 1,600 kilometers away from a 23-year marriage. A young man, eight months sober, finishing his Camino on a bus. A Canadian couple on their fourth Camino, contemplating retirement and what matters most. A Spanish teacher carrying her dead brother's stone. Their host, a French chef who escaped corporate kitchens, has never walked the Camino himself.

Having reached Muxía - where the ocean meets Spain's Galician coast - five strangers gather share dinner, each carrying something they haven't yet said out loud. Their separate journeys become an evening of laughter, confessions, and unexpected grace.
