A Pilgrim in Winter

Book excerpt: In this uproariously hilarious and brutally honest depiction of what modern pilgrims experience on the Camino de Santiago, Will Butler treks through 500 miles of the harsh winter in northern Spain to the fabled Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, he befriends a foul-mouthed Venetian Glassmaker, a love sick organ player, and briefly marries a stunningly attractive surfer from South Korea. Filled with a kaleidoscopic assortment of colorful pilgrims and Spanish locals, A Pilgrim in Winter is the perfect read for those pilgrims who have walked The Way of St. James, and for the hundreds of thousands more who wish to attempt it.
