This is a beautifully written novel about a quiet, unassuming man who receives a letter from a former friend and colleague, Queenie, informing him of her impending death. He immediately writes a note expressing his concern and sets off to mail it. Thus begins the six hundred mile pilgrimage of Harold Fry to save Queenie. It is an extraordinary walking journey by an ordinary man, which brings clarity to his memories and to the life he shares with his wife, Maureen. I was deeply moved by the gentle, giving nature of this man and the exquisite writing of Rachel Joyce who brought him into our hearts.
