Walking Back to Me - Claire Russell - Bog

And just like that I've a new moniker - widow. Instantly I'm exiled to a strange foreign country. What I had believed to be a lifetime visa to happiness has been revoked and it seems as if I will never get my passport back to normality.'



When Claire Russell lost her husband 10 days before Christmas, her life was torn apart. Morning rituals, shared jokes, annual traditions - the cornerstones of a life well-lived - vanished in a cruel, heartbreaking second.



What to do with this newly minted but unwanted existence? How was she to regain a sense of normality in a world so irrevocably changed?



Never one to do things by halves, Claire decided to embark on an epic solo adventure - walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In 300 kilometres and 12 days, she hoped to find a way back - to herself.
