The Book Club book

Harold Fry is a recently retired man living a conventional, somewhat boring life with his wife Maureen who is irritated by almost everything he does. Then one morning he receives a letter from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in twenty years - Queenie Hennessy who is dying and is writing to say goodbye.

He quickly writes a reply but realises that he can't post this - he needs to visit her and deliver his message in person - walking the six hundred miles between them. The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry begins.

Throughout his walk he meets different characters some of whom help him to remember who he was and who he is. His memories come flooding back as he considers his life from a different perspective.
