Women's Fiction
In the vein of Jojo Moyes and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, a warm
and touching novel about a woman who embarks on a pilgrimage
to Canterbury Cathedral after losing her mother, sharing
life lessons—in the best Chaucer tradition—with eight other
women along the way. Che Milan’s life is falling apart. Not only has her longtime
lover abruptly dumped her, but her eccentric, demanding
mother has recently died. When an urn of ashes arrives,
along with a note reminding Che of a half-forgotten promise
to take her mother to Canterbury, Che finds herself
reluctantly undertaking a pilgrimage. Within days she joins a group of women who are walking the
sixty miles from London to the shrine of Becket in
Canterbury Cathedral, reputed to be the site of miracles. In
the best Chaucer tradition, the women swap stories as they
walk, each vying to see who can best describe true love.
Che, who is a perfectionist and workaholic, loses her cell
phone at the first stop and is forced to slow down and
really notice the world around her, perhaps for the first
time in years. Through her adventures along the trail, Che finds herself
opening up to new possibilities in life and discovers that
the miracles of Canterbury can take surprising forms.
