Hmmm. Just finished it. I think it was 6 novella's linked by a common frame of reference. the ending was not an ending. The book just stopped. I was a bit annoyed by that. Can anyone tell me if there is an actual sequel that continues on from that point and ties it all up. I must confess, the ending was really annoying. I enjoyed the stories up until the last one and then realised that they were a bit heavy on the sentimentality and the pilgrims were a bunch of emotional cripples more than anything else. Overall, a good read, but unsatisfying at the end.
