REVIEW & INTERVIEW
Walking Home
A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed
by Sonia Choquette
H
Having read many books
and seen many films about
pilgrims on the Camino de
Santiago, I didn’t expect to
be as deeply engaged as I
was.
A
ll of them have many themes
in common, such as profound
inner exploration, overcoming
pain and physical challenges,
bonding with other pilgrims
and the profound effect of nature on the spirit, each story is
as unique as the individual. Sonia Choquette’s story was particularly riveting. I think it was due to her
intensely candid and personal recounting of the recent upheavals in her life, including her analysis of
the roots of her reactions going back to childhood.
The candid observations and revelations, rare for
a spiritual teacher of her stature, are written with
gentle humor and deliver profound wisdom. he
eloquent verbal portraits she paints of all she encounters on her way are a delightful bonus.
Reading this book is like stepping out of time and
participating in the archetypal pilgrim’s search for,
and eventually achieving, connection with oneself
and the divinity.
