"The Moorish Whore:" A "camino book" like no other!

Rebekah Scott

Camino Busybody
Time of past OR future Camino
Many, various, and continuing.
Her story is true: Zaida was the Moorish wife of Alfonso VI, the king who established the Camino Frances as we know it, a thousand years ago. History says very little about Zaida, which leaves plenty of room for imagination -- especially when the writer lives along the Camino, and Zaida´s story unfolds along the Via de la Plata and in Sahagun!

This is a novel of historical fiction, not exactly a "camino book," but a fascinating, fun read for people who know the camino and the settings described.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I bought the book in a second. Heck, things havn't changed much in Sahagun, last time we stayed there someone was outside our window at 3 AM screaming Puta Puta Puta!

Looking forward to a lively reading.
 
I just wanted to send a shout out for Rebecca's book, The Moorish Whore.

I finished it this morning, after staying up late into the night reading, unable to put it down.

I really enjoyed this book with its snippets of historical information about the Camino.

Highly recommended !
Thanks, Rebecca, for a great read!

Hola Rebekah, Not sure this is my kind of book but there always good tips here. Totally enjoyed Joe & Elaine's "In Movement there is Peace" as did my wife. Off to buy on amazon as a pressie for herself.
Buen Camino.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
yes, the book is still available, in softcover or as an e-book, on Amazon and all other online retailers as well as through your local bookstore.

Bought it, looking forward to reading it sometime soon, have high expectations for it! ....

Set in a particularly consequential period for the history of Spain and the Camino ....

(Merry Christmas to all!)
 
I read it and enjoyed it; it’s in my e-library. Although I didn’t walk the Via de la Plata and I had to bus through Sahagun, I still wish I had read it before I walked the camino.
 
Another shout out for this book. It is a ripping good yarn, and even though the intended audience is adult, it’s exactly the kind I like to read to my kids to bring history alive (except that it wasn’t entirely “family-friendly”!!)
