Book Reviews of A Blistered Kind of Love: One Couple's Trial by Trail (Barbara Savage Award Winner)
Book Review: Relationship Marathon
Summary: 4 Stars
A Blistered Kind of Love is one of those physical endurance memoirs like Josie Dew's bicycling books, or Ffyona Campbell's walking books. But this has an added twist. Instead of a lone diarist battling the elements, the Ballards are a couple who are testing themselves and testing their relationship.Angela and Duffy take turns writing chapters about their hike from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. That way we get the views from both hikers. This really works, because as they make their way along the trail, we see their relationship develop. It's as if they realized that if they could make it to the end together, they would be able to face anything together.
They have their share of adventures, mishaps, and meet plenty of hikers and "angels" (people who help hikers along the way). A Blistered Kind of Love is an enjoyable account, for hikers and non-hikers alike.
