It really is a wonderful book, written by Rachel Joyce. It is her first novel although for 20 years she wrote radio plays for the BBC. The book is "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry". It is well worth reading this very English book.
The book can be read at many levels. The story itself is engaging. And the language is precise. Every word contributes to the whole. The author brings everything down to the personal and private level which of course is the most important. Trying to figure out what is happening is another pleasure in the book. And the images of the land with it's colors brings the landscapes alive and vibrant.
Rachel Joyce is an excellent writer and I await future books from her but The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is an excellent book. I read it with great pleasure.
