The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

By Rachel Joyce

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village

with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he

does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one

day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a

letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn't seen

or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and

is writing to say goodbye.

Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores,

heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best

works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that

convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie

in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce's remarkable debut.

Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.

A monthly book discussion group for adults.
