Slightly overweight, pale and discontented, Christine begins her journey from southern France to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain on a quest to fit into a deliciously skimpy silk Bellino top. Along "The Way", she meets characters whose paths intertwine with hers for a few days or for a lifetime. In lurid detail and with relatable humour, Chris blends the physical and spiritual journey of her pilgrimage with stories of the past that have made her into the person she is today.
