Book description
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. He has no hiking boots or map,
let alone a compass, waterproof or mobile phone. All he knows is that
he must keep walking. To save someone else's life.
'The odyssey of a simple man, original, subtle and touching'. -
Claire Tomalin
