I'd like to do the Camino one day, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This young adult book recounts the journey of a young couple from their village in England to Santiago.
Elinor, orphaned daughter from an English estate, has been betrothed to Thomas, who has just returned from the Crusades, broken and disillusioned. At 14, she is about 10 years his junior, and neither anticipates the idea of marriage with much eagerness. The wise Father Gregory sends the two on a pilgrimage to atone for the sins of Ramsay, their village. Through dangers and the meeting of fellow travelers, Elinor and Thomas learn to depend upon and care for one another. Good historical fiction.
