The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce

4.0

Sentimental, delightful and touching. I very much enjoyed following the wonderfully introspective Harold and reading about his walk's many unexpected repercussions. The premise of the novel is fairly straightforward and simple, but there is underlying depth to the story and a couple of twists near the end caught me by surprise. I liked how bits and pieces of the backstory are revealed at at time to fill in the blanks of why exactly Harold is walking. Maybe I'm just a sap at heart, but I cherished reading this and it would make a fantastic movie. Reread in 2015.
