The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce
5.0
I listened to this book as Audiobook from my local library via Borrowbox and it's fabulous. I love that Jim Broadbent (who plays Harold Fry in the film adaptation of this book) is the narrator, he has such a distinctive voice and one of my favourite actors.
I absolutely love the internal monologue of Harold, it's really amusing.
When Harold comes across the walkers along the way I couldn't help but chuckle.
This is such a good book, each encounter Harold meets along the way are funny. He is quite a dry character which I think makes the encounters even funnier.
I also feel for Harold, he feels he has to make this pilgrimage because of the past but he may also affect his future if he carries on. Will he still be in full health by the time he reaches his destination.
I was totally gripped and cheering Harold on as he carries on with his long journey.
The reason for Harold making the journey to Queenie had me sobbing. It was a shock and due to the great writing skills I was not expecting it at all.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It made feel allsorts of emotions, it is a mixture serious, hilarious, devastating and wonderful and I loved every minute of it. Totally gripped from start to finish.
