This text is structured around four pilgrimages the author himself has made to Lourdes. One was made with members of his own parish and led by the parish priest, another with the Knights of the Order of Malta, the others as solitary pilgrimages. The book seeks to place Lourdes in its historical, geographical and political context, but at the heart of the book lies an absorbing interest in the pilgrims themselves - their hopes, their fears and the motives that have brought them to make their physical and spiritual journey.
