The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy

Harold Fry seems to get more fascinating the more you read about him. I thought, at first, the book would be too much like A MAN CALLED OVE for me to enjoy it, but I was so wrong. I actually think I imagined him getting handsomer as the story went on. And if you read this book and like it, then you must read Rachel Joyce follow on book, THE LOVE SONG OF MISS QUEENIE HENNESY. The Harold Fry book is complete on its own, but if you want the next layer, read Queenie's side of the story.

I've been to England and visited many of the cities that Harold passed through as he walked from Kingsbridge to Berwick-upon-Tweed. It was a lovely refresher of the English countryside. But I guess Harold's growth throughout the story really kept me reading, as well as the very unexpected revelations about his life. Particularly relating to his son.

I'll be reading anything else that Ms. Joyce writes. It's not often that you can say a book makes you a better person, but I think her books have so far. Well done!!
