Years ago, an overachieving and harried young mother accidentally flushed her gold watch down the toilet. Time passed, but the image of the lost watch continued to haunt her, a symbol of an overcommitted life. Two decades later, propelled by a series of curious coincidences, she leaves behind her busy professional life, her cell phone, and her family to escape the tyranny of time and walk 500 miles across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela.

Steps out of Time brings the mysterious and wonderful world of the Camino to life with its tales of serendipitous encounters, new friends made (and one tragically lost), stunning natural beauty, and unforgettable food. By the end of her journey, an exhausted and exhilarated Katharine Soper is keenly aware she has completed much more than a monthlong walk.

At 74 and contemplating a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, I found the author's experiences to be informative and inspiring. If she can do it as a solo walker at 57, so can I. The narration was spot on but got a bit nasal at times. Put this on your To Do list before attempting the walk.

A must for Pilgrims Virgins

I really enjoyed this book and the story it told. The author’s tale of her pilgrimage on The Camino de Santiago has enticed me to dream of going one day myself. I recommend this book to those wondering what life on this particular pilgrimage is like. She has a firm hold on describing every aspect.

Enjoyed this book very much!

Very well read. Such great description I feel like I would recognize places along the trail based and look for small treasures found in these chapgers. A great way to present the aches, pains, love, sweat, and tears that go into slowing down enough to get to really know ourselves.... plus the grand adventure of pilgrimage... and through hiking.

Great insight into the joy and pain of pilgrimage

Just an overall good account of her journey. Gave you an idea of the pleasures and obstacles anyone might encounter.

Easy to follow and the narrator was very good.

I am planning a pilgrimage myself. Every book I have read about the Camino has helped me in many ways. Thank you for your inspiration.

Thank you

As an avid Camino walker, I really enjoyed this book. Every camino is different as is everyone’s experience on the way. Being unable to be in the camino because of the Covid pandemic, the book brought me back So I could re-live the experience.

A good alternative to being in the camino during the pandemic.

I only chose this book because I'm a big fan of Donna Postel but have now become a fan of the author. My brother walked the Camino in 2015 with his son after watching the movie The Way staring Michael Douglas. Donna did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. The food in the story sounded amazing and left me hungry for some good authentic home cooked food. I'll never be able to walk the Camino but I've found an app called World of Walking that has the way of St James that I turn my treadmill into the way. This story is totally worth the credit. Happy listening 🎧

A wonderful story
