On Pilgrimage

On Pilgrimage by Lash, Jennifer. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781582340906.

From the remarkably talented novelist comes an unforgettable travel memoir. In 1986 Jennifer Lash learned she had cancer, and after a painful operation, she embarked on a solitary pilgrimage through France to Spain. Travelling to places of contemporary Christian pilgrimage such as Lourdes, Lisieux and Taize, as well as making numerous stops in Vezelay, Le Puy, and Le Chaise-Dieu high in the forests of Auvergne, Saint-Gilles, she finished her pilgrimage at the celebratory phenomenon of Santiago de Compostela. Sensitive, humorous, courageous and inspiring, On Pilgrimage is the story of this incredible journey.
