Out of darkness, light will shine…
Amy Hardy once lived a life full of colour, but a tragic accident has turned her world to shadows.
Determined to embrace her new life, Amy sets off on the famous Compostela pilgrimage, hoping to find light in the darkness and a new path.
Accompanying her on her journey is Luke Patterson a man whose own troubled past casts dark shadows over his life. He’s hoping that guiding Amy will be a distraction from his own troubles.
But as Luke and Amy travel through the stunning scenery of Northern Spain, following in footsteps of those travellers before them, they feel a connection to each other. And as their bond grows, a love
story from the distant past emerges before them, forcing them to confront their own secrets, pain and feelings for each other.
Can a story of courage and bravery help them both to emerge from the shadows into the light once more?
Under A Spanish Sky is an enchanting novel about the search for happiness, fulfilment…and above all love.

My thoughts: Amy and Luke are both historians, specialising in the Middle Ages, following in the footsteps of generations of pilgrims on the Santiago Compostela into Spain.
As they travel, with Luke acting as Amy’s eyes, they build a story of previous pilgrims – Luc and Aimee, who were in a hurry to reach the end of the pilgrims’ route and avoid the church’s soldiers, carrying something precious.
The two narratives weave together as the modern day duo traverse the mountains and snow in a way that would seem impossible for the Middle Ages pilgrims who travelled on foot and if they were rich, on horse back.
Amy and Luke have been paired up by a mutual friend who thinks they would be good for each other. Both have been through terrible things and carry a lot of pain. As they get to know each other, they share details of their lives and begin to fall for one another.
I really liked Amy and Luke, and their Middle Ages alternates – Luc and Aimee, the Santiago Compostela is something I find fascinating – it is still walked by modern day pilgrims – not all of them religious, and it was a huge undertaking before modern day travel options.
I’m a big fan of T.A. Williams’ crime books and his romance novels too. The stories, like this one, are clever, moving and enjoyable. It was a really great book to cosy up with one windy evening and transport myself to a wintry Spanish adventure.
