Diego's Guitar

A broken rock star. A chance encounter. A road to starting over. This is the dramatic conclusion of the best-selling Reluctant Pilgrim trilogy.

Diego thought he had it all: money, fame, a life of luxury and a beautiful wife. Then, at the pinnacle of international stardom, his world comes crashing down when his wife suddenly leaves him. Desperate for answers, Diego meets Nessie, a high-spirited backpacker, and is presented with an opportunity to walk along the only road he has ever been happy on.

This moving stand-alone story builds on Diego’s Camino de Santiago journeys of the first two books in this trilogy, taking us on a deeply personal adventure that begins on the stage of a rock concert and ends with the discovery of a treasured flamenco guitar. Along the way, Diego manages to lose everything he ever thought he loved…but discover his true self and purpose in the process. With the Camino Portugués as the vivid backdrop we may recognise ourselves in the pilgrims Diego encounters on his journey, and the inner conflicts he must face and overcome.

Diego's Guitar is a compelling story of one man's struggle to find himself in the remnants of a rock and roll career. If you love quirky characters, Spain and Portugal, and are curious about the mysterious Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, then you’ll love the final instalment of the Reluctant Pilgrim series.

Reviewers and advance listeners are suggesting this is Stephen R. Marriott's best novel yet:

"A moving, spiritual, thoughtful book that will remind you of the important things in life." (Leonora Meriel, author of And Breathe and The Woman Behind the Waterfall)
