The “Unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry” is about an older
married couple who have an ordinary life and who have feelings and thoughts
inside them of the kind we all have. Regrets, and a certain view of the way
things were and are, have been with them for years. A letter from someone
Harold once knew sets him off on a physical and emotional journey across
Britain whilst his wife Maureen goes through her own journey at home.
This is an allegorical tale of ordinary lives given an alternative
perspective through a simple mechanism of a journey undertaken. Whilst sad in
places, it has positive theme and reminds the reader that contentment is as
much a matter of how you interpret the life events as anything which has a more
external reality. I would recommend this book.
