I much enjoyed Kneale's English Passengers nearly 20 years ago and, while not quite in the same league, this was a similarly well-researched, well-characterised and entertaining insight into all the aspects of the extraordinary 13th-century trend for walking from Britain to Rome (and back).

This took me ages to read, for various reasons, but it was worth stretching it out. Impressively researched and even more impressively written, with strong characters and a complete sense of unpredictability. One for recommending.
