Relish in the Tread

Beyond a mere travelogue, Steve Hunter's debut novel unfolds along two very different, arduous, and ancient pilgrimage trails. Packed with warmth and humour, we follow Freddi's 3,000-kilometer walk across Europe. This journey bursts with bare-bones honesty and heartache. Hunter tells it the Way that only a hardened traveler who sacrificed it all could. Freddi's life lacked any sign of commitment. Until those first steps, he had nothing to show for himself. He had abandoned his career, lost the love of his life, and then wandered exploited tourist trails to satisfy his ego. Relish In the Tread captures the horrors and the highs of a modern day pilgrim. Through madness and perseverance, he vows to walk and keep walking until he reaches the eighth wonder of the world, Hagia Sophia, where Europe and Asia collide. Relish is the compelling, forthright, and personal story of one man's odyssey toward discovery and transformation.
