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.  Review One of the sweetest, most delicately-written stories I've read in a long time. One man's walk along the length of England to save the life of a dying woman. Each chapter describes a different encounter along the way, with a definite nod to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Philosophical, intriguing, and profoundly moving. (Richard Madeley Foyles website)  Uplifting, funny and delicate (Jon Stock The Daily Telegraph)  One of the best books you'll read this year (Daily Mail)  Wonderful (Guardian)  At times almost unbearably moving (Sunday Times)  Book Description An incredibly exciting debut from a wonderful new fiction voice: this is the tender, comic, and utterly captivating story of Harold Fry who takes a walk to save a life and whose journey will prove life-changing for him, the wife he leaves behind, and the people he meets along the way.
