At first I thought this was going to be a DNF. Che is pretentious and judgmental and the rest of the tour group aren't much better. But as this story continues I was quickly caught up into the stories and begin to become interested in the characters and the stories they had to tell. Each woman is far more complicated than they appear and each story brings out more about not only the storyteller but the listeners. Angelique was my favorite character but I felt like I connected to each one - even Che - by the end.

The cover drew me in. The story kept me reading. Perhaps I am reading this during the COVID19 pandemic, but I am drawn to books which relate the stories of the connectedness of people. This story of 8 women traveling to Canterbury, may be on the lines of _THE CANTERBURY TALES_ but I liked it so much more.

I was drawn by the cover and the concept of this book as I'm a big Anglophile and love anything to do with England, as well as a lover of classic literature. I thought this was a perfect book for a cozy rainy day and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it - now I'm planning my own trip to Canterbury!

I enjoyed this story of a group of women following an ancient pilgrimage to Canterbury. Each with their own story to share and their own reasons for paying pilgrimage.
