pickI‘ve always been a medieval nerd, so I enjoyed this memoir. The author decides to take a pilgrimage on foot to Canterbury, just like the peasants of older days did.

pickIn this companion book to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, we learn more about the woman who inspired his walk. She's living in a hospice & decides to write out her memories for Harold to read in a letter. From meeting him at work to her unexpected relationship with his troubled son, Queenie's POV unfolds with a quiet, lonely beauty. I loved her description of her sea garden & the unfettered joy she's able to glimpse when David dances.
