The Canterbury Sisters by Kim Wright

The Canterbury Sisters

by Kim Wright

Che Milan's life is falling apart. Not only has her longtime lover abruptly dumped her, but her eccentric, demanding mother has recently died. When an urn of ashes arrives, along with a note reminding Che of a half-forgotten promise to take her mother to Canterbury, Che finds herself reluctantly undertaking a pilgrimage. Within days she joins a group of women who are walking the sixty miles from London to the shrine of Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. As she is forced to slow down and notice the world around her, as the women swap stories as they walk, Che learns about the grace of imperfection.

The Canterbury Sisters is a tale of eight women, walking the Canterbury trail from London to the Cathedral in Canterbury, following in Chaucer's steps, each sharing their stories, searching for redemption and a reason to keep on.
