I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.The Cross of Santiago belongs in several different genres which makes it interesting. It starts out with Amanda, the main character, being in a relationship with a married man and not doing much with her life. Once she receives the Cross of Santiago from an aunt she never knew, she begins to change and she realizes she’s on a track to nowhere.I enjoyed watching Amanda grow as the story progressed. It seems the more she delves into the past of her family, the more she matures and finds herself. The other characters were interesting. One I especially liked was Chris and his hypnotherapy and as Amanda said, “What a hippie.” Evie Gaughan also has a good sense of humor that shows through her characters.A good portion of The Cross of Santiago takes place in the 1500′s so if you like historical fiction, you’ll like this book. But that’s not all…it has adventure, romance, and humor.
