A heartwarming book! I will say I was able to semi-guess the ending although it didn't matter too much, I was happy to be there for the journey! Although slow, It was a well rounded and satisfying read. Would recommend.

"De wereld bestond uit mensen die de ene voet voor de andere zetten, en soms leek een leven alleen maar gewoon omdat de persoon die het leidde dat al zo lang deed."

Wat een ongelooflijk ontroerend boek. Hij is prachtig in zijn eenvoud, en het laatste stuk heb ik met een brok in mijn keel gelezen. Hij is mij net geen 5 sterren waard vanwege het middenstuk wat mijnsinziens niet helemaal bij het verhaal paste, maar ik kan hem aan iedereen aanbevelen.

My most favorite book in a long time. Harold Fry leaves his home in hopes to save a friend. In the end her saves himself. Very beautifully written book about loss and dealing with it and finding yourself in the loss.
