The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel JoyceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was all about good heart, and that was the driving force and motivation for Harold's walk and the motivation for the author to write this story. There are not many stories that capture that from a real perspective and the world has become a place where few good people exist. I loved how Harold let people join his walk and valued/treasured each of their stories. Each character was an individual and yet similar in some ways be it by illness, experience etc. It really brings to life that in some way all people are connected by something or someway. They story that most touched my heart was that of Harold and Queenie. I was just waiting to see what would happen when he saw her after all his miles of walking. I was kind of shocked when it said what a state she was in....I was not expecting that at all. The pilgrimage was not only about saving Queenie but it also gave Harold a lot of time to think about and express his own feelings related to his son's suicide. Something he did not do in depth when the incident occurred. Loved how the book ended and that it actually made his marriage to Maureen stronger and more meaningful. Can't say enough good things about this book :)
