The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce


by


The July selection for the library reading group at Wilmington Public Library is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.   It is the story of a retired man who is walking a long way to see a friend who is dying.  As he walks day in and day out,  he reflects over his life and relationships.  He also reconnects with nature.   It is like his journey is not just spanning the UK but is more like it is a journey of his life.  It is a well written novel with a touching story line.  It is not my genre and will not make my top ten list for this year.  But this is not because it is not a good book.  It is just not my kind of book.  The story flows well and could well be someone else's favorite.  This book has won awards and is well thought of.  Please click on the book title and author's name above to follow the links for more information and enjoy the video that follows.
