To celebrate her 50th birthday and face the challenges of midlife, Jane Christmas joins 14 women to hike the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Despite a psychic's warning of catfights, death, and a sexy, fair-haired man, Christmas soldiers on. After a week of squabbles, the group splinters, and the real adventure begins. In vivid, witty style, she recounts her battles with loneliness, hallucinations of being joined by Steve Martin, as well as picturesque villages and even the fair-haired man. What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim is one trip neither the author nor the listener will forget.

An interesting memoir with plenty of poetic licence but not the usual Camino story of which I have read many. I was intrigued by Christmas's view of her 'tribe' and those she met along the way and felt compelled to continue. However, I found her quite selfish and critical but maybe this was driven the anger which underlies many of her encounters? I wonder if her journey brought about any of the insights she sought or altered her view of humanity?
I was surprised at one point that she felt it acceptable to wander around someone's private property because the gate was open. Also that she felt it was the duty of a refugio receptionist to find her a bed somewhere else as they were full. It is no wonder some local people come to dislike 'Pilgrims'.
I became increasingly irritated by her mispronunciation of Spanish words such as 'refukio' and 'cafay con laychay' sticking to the English words refuge or hostel and coffee would have been preferable.
I enjoyed that this memoir was different and the depth of honesty Christmas expressed about her self and her feelings dispite the detail some of her encounters seeming exaggerated or a trifle suspect. This said, I probably won't be listening to any more of her books.

An angry woman's account of the Camino.

One of my ambitions is to walk the Camino and I think this book has prepared me for the reality of it. It is interesting to listen to the ups and downs of the authors walk. She seems to cope with the actual walking remarkably well, and I'm sure that this would not be the case for everyone. But for me the interesting part was the descriptions of the scenery and fellow travellers, crowded pilgrim hostels and their owners! I think it prepares you for what to expect on the route she chose and to perhaps adapt your plans accordingly!

A must if you are thinking of walking the Camino
