Sonia Overall takes to the old pilgrim roads, navigating a route from Canterbury to Walsingham via London and her home town of Ely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vivid in her evocation of a landscape of ancient chapels, ruined farms and suburban follies, Overall\u2019s secular pilgrimage elevates the ordinary, collecting roadside objects \u2013 feathers, a bingo card, a worn penny \u2013 as relics. Facing injury and interruption, she takes the path of the lone woman walker, seeking out \u2018thin places\u2019 where past and present collide, and where new ways of living might begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
