An fully revised and updated Pilgrimage Three explores numerous French towns, each seen as characters growing-up over their extensive histories, their colourful stories written with a vibrant pen, full of life, passion, and an astute and comic eye. Two other stories recall the traveller and pilgrim experience on the Le Puy-en Vajey route and in France's Languedoc region.
Commentators say Pilgrimage is “beautiful poetic writing", with “inspired metaphor, written “to a breathless walking rhythm”.
The judge of the Peter Cowan Short Story Prize said of one pilgrimage story: it’s 'An epic evocation of place. Yes, this story proves that you can produce an epic in a mere 488 words! Like all good fiction, perhaps, this piece is ultimately an investigation into how time passes and works. Energetic, almost punch-drunk writing (I mean that as a complement!): "Let the dogs and big ideas fight over the bones behind the Calle mayor". Fabulous!
