Does anyone know of any good historical novels about the Camino? I have read my fill of modern pilgrim's experiences and would like to find some alternative camino-related literature.
"The Moorish Whore," by Rebekah Scott
I loved the Moorish Whore. Bought it as a Nook book and wish I had purchased it in hardback. I enjoy looking at my favorites sitting in my bookshelf. Its just not the same with a Nook. More stories please, Rebekah."The Moorish Whore," by Rebekah Scott

You could try my own novel The Path by Malcolm McKay. It is the story of a group of international travellers of all ages, all professions, all religious denominations (and none). They include a British ex-army captain, a beautiful Danish businesswoman, a manic Austrian architect, A Welsh painter, a driven American priest and a comic mother and daughter duo from Canada. The thirty-five day walk is tough and demanding, They relate intellectually, spiritually and sexually, as they search for their own deep and personal truths which are not always what they expect - or want - to find. The climax is a terrible and shocking death which changes their view of themselves forever as they arrive in the holy city.Does anyone know of any good historical novels about the Camino?

I can thoroughly recommend "The Moorish Whore" - it was a great read - set in and around Sahagun - 11th or 12th century periods. (Its an e_book)"The Moorish Whore," by Rebekah Scott
