Continue the Camino de Santiago started in Along the Path of the Cranes: an outer and inner journey that becomes that unique path where we are all one and time does not exist.
Simón resumes the Camino de Santiago that he had abandoned in Amusco, a village in Palencia where his friend Marianela lives. Simón, a sociologist and scholar of collective behaviors, is investigating the circumstances that led thousands of people to move to the Valley of Silence in different centuries in search of spirituality.
The novel captures a pilgrimage through landscape and time: present and past alternate in the various narratives, told through different voices. The Camino becomes a journey of encounters of different personalities and nationalities, collecting stories from all times. The past emerges to give life to the present, very much alive in this story and seasoned with friendship, love, encounters, and misunderstandings.
