When Harold Fry nips out one morning to post a letter, leaving his wife hoovering upstairs, he has no idea that he is about to walk from one end of the country to the other.

'The odyssey of a simple man, original, subtle and touching'. - Claire Tomalin 'From the moment I met Harold Fry, I didn't want to leave him. Impossible to put down.' - Erica Wagner, The Times

I loved this book, and I loved Harold and his adventures, and the many characters he came in contact with.
I loved that he traveled so far to see his dying friend. It was very sad at the end, but well worth a few tears shed.
This is a must read.

I, a student English ( aged 70) in the Netherlands and my fellow students, all over 65, are very satisfied about the quality of the books (11) and the way of delivery.
I'll and can recommend Alibris.

Unexpected Treasure
A very quiet, moving, and surprising book that tells a marvelous story of people changing and healing without resounding drama, but instead a deep feeling of change and redemption that all comes about through an impulse.
