The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy

If you picked this book it is because you were intrigued by the premise, maybe because you like gentle British fiction that explores more of the rest of the population rather than the full British stereotypes. You probaly like [a:Alan Bennett 11781 Alan Bennett http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1234747177p2/11781.jpg] and as the book begins i found myself thinking Alan Bennett could have written this so much better. But I am so glad a marched on with Harold because when he hits his stride so does the writing, the characters flesh out. From a very shaky start and logic to his journey the flaws and thoughts start to be revealed and as the journey progresses you start to will Harold on instead of slapping him around for being such a dunce.The conclusion is as it should be, the trip ends up being without dramatic denouement but I think it would have been disappointing if there was one. Started two stars but i ended up really liking this book
