The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce #RachelJoyce #Review #HaroldFry

Well, Hello! It has been a while. I had to step away for a while to deal with some health issues. It has transpired that these are not going to go away, and besides I missed it here. Since the last time I posted I have just been randomly selecting books from my shelves. The first one I want to talk about is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce which was originally published by Black Swan in 2013.


When Harold Fry nips out one morning to post a letter, leaving his wife hoovering upstairs, he has no idea that he is about to walk from one end of the country to the other. He has no hiking boots or map, let alone a compass, waterproof or mobile phone. All he knows is that he must keep walking. To save someone else's life.

My Thoughts:

I can't remember where I bought this book or indeed who recommended it to me but I am pleased to have read it and I got through it in one sitting which is something of a rarity at the moment. 

Harold Fry is retired. He is seemingly unhappy and is constantly nagged by his wife Maureen. Things seem turbulent on the surface but there is an element of mystery as to what bubbles beneath the surface of their relationship. Harold can't seem to do anything right.
