4 Extra Debut. On a trip to Tallinn, an author agrees with his friend to walk the Camino in Spain - but reality bites. Read by Patrick Kennedy.
The author Gideon Lewis-Kraus describes leaving America for life in Berlin, to ease the sadness after his father abandoned the family home. But Berlin isn't enough and only embarking on a series of world-wide pilgrimages will help him. The journeys turn out both amusing and moving, and are abridged in five episodes by Katrin Williams.
