The Ones Who Reached the End (Paperback)

Paperback. Six strangers walked to Santiago. Now the road turns west, toward the sea, and one of them may not walk away from it.The pilgrims who survived the long road to Santiago thought the walking was over.They were wrong.Something is waiting beyond the city, out where the land runs out at Finisterre, the place pilgrims once called the end of the world. And someone has been quietly steering them toward it since before they ever met.Mateo has stopped running, or thinks he has. Claire has told most of the truth, but not all of it. Tomas walked away from the life he was supposed to want, yet still cannot say what he is walking toward. And Frederic, who has carried more than his backpack across a thousand kilometers, is beginning to fail in ways the others can no longer pretend not to see.So they keep walking.Past Santiago. Toward the Atlantic. Toward the place where there is nowhere left to go.But the closer they come to the sea, the more the questions they have carried begin to close around them. Someone has been leaving messages for Claire. Someone knows why they are going to Finisterre. And somewhere ahead waits a truth that may change what the journey meant from the beginning.Because there are some things the Camino cannot heal. Some goodbyes it cannot prevent. And some people we would keep walking beside forever, if the road would only let us.The Ones Who Reached the End is a novel of suspense, friendship, love, loss, and the strange grace of the Camino de Santiago. It is the story of six people who went looking for an ending, only to discover that reaching the end of the road and being ready to leave it are not the same thing.They thought the Camino had saved them. Someone needed them to keep walking. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
