I loved it & we did it at reading group too. It was a populer choice. I see it was written as a radio play first which makes sense as it was 'added to' to pad out into a novel.
I got a bit lost when he was joined by the hangers on but it redeemed itself in the end.

I couldn't understand why he kept having his deck shoes repaired when I thought you couldn't re sole deck shoes [but I could be wrong].

Wonderful, moving, life-enhancing novel. I am going to recommend it to our book group.

I loved it so much that I read it twice. Was quite sad really to get to the end of it.

I have, loved it and we are reading it for the next meeting of my book group. I was put off initially by the title and synopsis, but it turned out so much better than I expected.

This may have been covered elsewhere - sorry in advance if this is the case. I've just finished "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" and found it the most unusual and moving book. I'm sure other Gransnet members have enjoyed it too. It's a long time since I was moved to tears more than once by a book, which at the same time was also funny in parts. Has anyone else read it?
