Recent acquisition for our personal library.

Harold & Maureen are an older retired couple in England. When he hears that his old coworker and friend is dying, he decides to walk hundreds of miles to visit her in hospice. That simple premise leads to unexpected friendships & quiet processing of painful past moments. It's not a book with big plot twists, but instead is an introspective novel about how our choices & the people around us shape our world. It was lovely to spend time with Harold.

Random book from our home library.

My 2017 rating: ★★★★★

Bookwomble Although it's not my typical genre, I enjoyed this one, and cried at the end 😭 3mo
bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, I just updated the caption with my rating from 8 years ago. Although it's also not my typical genre, after having it recommended to me by two librarian colleagues whom I respect, I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed! 3mo

New episode just posted! This week we're discussing the successful debut from Rachel Joyce, “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.“ A charming, sad, and poignant novel that surprised and pleased us greatly. We had a great time discussing this novel...spoilers ahead!

Walking the Camino de Santiago. The books is often about her inner monologue. We have very different belief systems but I greatly admired what she did. Was worth reading.

MemoirsForMe I really enjoyed this book too! 13mo
