The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
by
Rachael Joyce |
When Harold Fry, retired and weary of his own utterly boring and predictable life, receives a letter from a dying woman who haunts his past, he quickly pens a reply. But, on the way to mail the letter, he inexplicitly passes the post box and continues to walk. With no preparation – not even a goodbye to his wife – Harold starts off on a 627 mile walk to the hospice where his friend is dying, driven by the longing to deliver his letter to her in person. So first-time novelist Rachael Joyce begins our journey with Harold, walking mile after mile, “one foot in front of the other”, across England on a pilgrimage of faith, hope and love that will change his life and perhaps our own. In this novel, which was nominated for the 2012 Man Booker Prize, Joyce allows the reader to follow Harold’s pilgrimage, to encounter a series of colorful characters intermixed with his own diverse memories, and to experience, in this modern world, the “movements” of the ancient practice of pilgrimage. |
