Longer, rambling review.
God, I loved this book. I wept openly for the last part. The emotions in the book made that happen. I feel like walking more, now. In fact, I walked through a park-like area on my way to work yesterday, and I swear I felt more alive at work for that experience. I felt more open to my surroundings, as if I were Harold Fry walking through the countryside, observing the clouds, the trees, the plants, ... and the people. Someone else he was observing, was himself, of course.

I LOVED Jim Broadbent as the reader. He WAS Harold Fry. Harold Fry was thinking out loud directly to me. That's why I was so drawn in. And ditto for Maureen. I was in their lives. I felt their emotions.

I don't know what else to say without revealing some spoiler, and I do want to encourage everyone who happens to pass by here to go and read this book. The writing is wonderful and delightful. This book is just marvelous and incredibly moving.

Thank you, Rachel Joyce.

PS I say I wept openly. But I ended with a huge smile and a laugh. Oh, and I didn't really say what the book was about because you can read the publisher description everywhere else.
