Winner - Edward Stanford Travel Memoir of the Year 2019.
Shortlisted - Rathbones Folio Prize, RSL Ondaatje Prize, and
Somerset Maugham Award 2019. In 2013 Guy Stagg made a pilgrimage
from Canterbury to Jerusalem. Though a non-believer, he began the
journey after suffering several years of mental illness, hoping the
ritual would heal him. For ten months he hiked alone on ancient
paths, crossing ten countries and more than 5,500 kilometres. The
Crossway is an account of this extraordinary adventure. Having left
home on New Year's Day, Stagg climbed over the Alps in midwinter,
spent Easter in Rome with a new pope, joined mass protests in
Istanbul and survived a terrorist attack in Lebanon. Travelling
without support, he had to rely each night on the generosity of
strangers, staying with monks and nuns, priests and families. As a
result, he gained a unique insight into the lives of contemporary
believers and learnt the fascinating stories of the soldiers and
saints, missionaries and martyrs who had followed these paths
before him. The Crossway is a book full of wonders, mixing travel
and memoir, history and current affairs. At once intimate and epic,
it charts the author's struggle to walk towards recovery, and asks
whether religion can still have meaning for those without faith. A
BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week' in 2018.
