Call of the Camino

A Novel

By: Suzanne Redfearn

Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell, M.L. Sanchez

From the bestselling author of In an Instant comes a deeply moving novel following the transformative journeys of two women walking entwined paths on a legendary route across Europe a generation apart.

Reina Watkins lost her father when she was eight. Seventeen years later, she still carries that grief. When her budding journalism career takes an unexpected turn, it leads her to the ancient five-hundred-mile Camino de Santiago in Spain. Now she finds herself embarking on the same pilgrimage that her father made at her age, unaware of how profoundly it will change her.

Back in 1997, Isabelle Vidal is a teenager on the run. Fleeing from her boarding school, she heads straight for the Way of Saint James. She’s heard the Camino will provide. And so it does, in the form of a handsome young American and the promise of a new life. But it could all fall apart if her troubles catch up with her.

One woman is coming to grips with her past; the other is grasping for her future. But as each treads the same hallowed trail, it will knot their destinies together in a most miraculous way.

Critic reviews

“The Camino becomes a metaphor for self-growth and healing.”—Midwest Book Review

better than I thought it would be

I friend recently walked the camino which is why I wanted to listen to this story, it was a sweet story and a lovely journey.

I want to listen to this book again - right now! I want to hike the camino

Love the depth of the characters, so many of them. Live the details of the experiences

Wonderful narration of this beautiful story

I loved this story , it was emotional as well as fun. Made me want to make journey. The narration helped make it even more realistic.

Great Story; Volume Issue

We listened to this production via CarPlay during a road trip. Everything was great until Reina started reading the diary and her volume dropped to imperceptible. It also happened with male characters. We’d have to pause, turn up the volume and back up to hear the text. Luckily, I was copilot. If a sole driver, all the fiddling could be dangerous.

Call of the Camino is a great story and has inspired us to consider a trip to Spain! This particular production needs some technical editing to even out the volume for all of the characters, then we would highly recommend it!!

Beautiful story

I truly enjoyed the story and the narrator. After listening to the store, I'd love to experience the Camino.
