Summary
Years ago, an overachieving and harried young mother accidentally flushed her gold watch down the toilet. Time passed, but the image of the lost watch continued to haunt her, a symbol of an overcommitted life. Two decades later, propelled by a series of curious coincidences, she leaves behind her busy professional life, her cell phone, and her family to escape the tyranny of time and walk 500 miles across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela.
Steps out of Time brings the mysterious and wonderful world of the Camino to life with its tales of serendipitous encounters, new friends made (and one tragically lost), stunning natural beauty, and unforgettable food. By the end of her journey, an exhausted and exhilarated Katharine Soper is keenly aware she has completed much more than a monthlong walk.

An invitation to go off the grid
A Well-researched and beautifully-written book. I learned a lot about the Camino, even including some useful Spanish expressions

Inspiring account of Camino de Santiago
I enjoyed the book thoroughly, but thought the performance could have been better. Still, I would not discount it based on the performance. It is an inspiring account of a woman’s experience on the Camino. One that made me consider the pilgrimage in earnest.

Great memories
I walked the Camino 2013, the story brought back beautiful memories. The early starts, the silence, eucalyptus forests and the people. Marvellous just simply marvellous.

Women Walk Too!
Great to read about the Camino from a woman's perspective!
I loved this book which explored so many issues and questions about pilgrimage. I found the intonation of the narrator a little irritating but the intelligent captivating content was too good to miss.

The book will assist in planning my own journey on the Portuguese route next year.
Thank you Katherine🙏

The Journey
I first heard of the Camino a couple of years ago when I watched a program on television about a group of people who walked it and I was captivated. This of course was designed for television but made me wish I had done it when I was younger(I’m 76 with athritic knees and a heart complaint)
Then I read this glorious book, with its joy, sadness, pain and peace, friendship and fun and exhaustion and excitement and disappointment. The real “humaness”and I pined for her loss at the end of her marathon until she made me realise that I have walked my Camino, my life has been it . Thankyou for writing this beautiful book

The Adventure Quest
I love this audiobook, it gives me atmosphere similar to an RPG game where you go off to your adventure on a quest!
