A quest for the eagle feather receipient makes for good reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I met Sue Kenney a couple of years ago at a pilgrim gathering, some years after I had read her first book and listened to her Camino CD. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but something superhuman, and it was a surprise to see a perfectly normal person, not very tall, and with her mother in tow. From Sue's writings I get a sense of tremendous energy, and this book is no exception. As she worked on her first book about the Camino, she began to feel the urge to do a long walk, again, this time walking parts of the Portugal route, and Finisterre. Before she leaves on the walk, a native american friend gives her an eagle feather, an object of great import, and assigns Sue the obligation of finding someone worthy of receiving the eagle feather. The thread of the book is the quest for the eagle feather recipient. My thoughts on this same route were, how far to the next refugio, where can we find somewhere to eat, but Sue is driven by a higher purpose, and the search makes for good reading.
