Harold's been retired for six months when he gets a letter from a woman he used to work with. Queenie is dying from cancer and just wrote to say goodbye. Harold dashes off a quick reply but when he walks to the post office to mail the card, he suddenly decides to keep on walking. I didn't have any idea how this journey would end but I wasn't disappointed. I laughed; I cried; I was engrossed.. Jim Broadbent is Harold. 336 pages. 9 hours 57 minutes, unabridged.
Love Jim Broadbent! Sounds like a beautiful story, will have to pick it up, and definitely in audio!
