In “The 100-year-old Man who Climbed out the Window” by Jonas Jonasson,  Allan Karlsson believes the nursing home will be his last stop.  But on his 1000^th birthday, he escapes and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey.  In “Two Steps Forward” by Graeme (Rosie Project) Simsion, a pair of pilgrims, both in need of a fresh start, meet on the  centuries-old Santiago de Compostela.  Simsion reveals that the most important journeys we make aren’t measured in miles.
