This was a great summer read. The main character is Che de Milan. She has a busy life with her career and her long-time boyfriend Ned. It is a long distance romance but it works for them. They Skype every other night, text during the day and have wonderful romantic getaways frequently. Che has also been busy watching her mother die. There is a memorial service. Three weeks later she receives the urn with cremains. In the bottom of the box is the coffee table book she had given her mom. It was all about Canterbury - the history and also about the modern day pilgrims who walk to Canterbury. And there was a letter. Her mom wanted Che to do a pilgrimage and scatter the ashes along the way. Really? She probably would have found a million reasons not to do it until she opened the other letter that had arrived for her - from Ned. Ned who has found someone new. He is giving her some time to get used to it and he will call her on Monday so they can talk. So that is how she ends up googling Canterbury pilgrimages and buys a plane ticket. She has hired a private guide. But when she arrives in London she is greeted by a message that her guide is in the hospital but she can join a group that is leaving that day. Not what she had in mind! But she joins the group and in the tradition of Canterbury Tales they all share a story. It was an interesting and entertaining book.
