The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce

5.0

I love this book! Harold Fry, a modern-day everyman with a broken heart, receives a letter from an estranged friend who is dying of cancer. Before he even understands what he's doing, he embarks on a pilgrimage which takes him across England and into the lives of other travelers, as he wrestles with his own heart break and the nature of life, and begins to heal. This is a novel that made me want to reach for a pen time and time again. It is beautifully rendered, full of wisdom, authentic, painful, and rich with hope. Anyone "whose heart is set on pilgrimage" will love this book and be better for it.
