NATIONAL BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.

Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce’s remarkable debut. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.

Still in his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one fascinating character after another, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen, his wedding day, his joy in fatherhood, come rushing back to him—allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years.

And then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy.

A novel of unsentimental charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise—and utterly irresistible—storyteller.

Advance praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

“When it seems almost too late, Harold Fry opens his battered heart and lets the world rush in. This funny, poignant story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey moved and inspired me.”—Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank

“There’s tremendous heart in this debut novel by Rachel Joyce, as she probes questions that are as simple as they are profound: Can we begin to live again, and live truly, as ourselves, even in middle age, when all seems ruined? Can we believe in hope when hope seems to have abandoned us? I found myself laughing through tears, rooting for Harold at every step of his journey. I’m still rooting for him.”—Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife

“Marvelous! I held my breath at his every blister and cramp, and felt as if by turning the pages, I might help his impossible quest succeed.”—Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand

“Harold’s journey is ordinary and extraordinary; it is a journey through the self, through modern society, through time and landscape. It is a funny book, a wise book, a charming book—but never cloying. It’s a book with a savage twist—and yet never seems manipulative. Perhaps because Harold himself is just wonderful. . . . I’m telling you now: I love this book.”—Erica Wagner, The Times (UK)

“The odyssey of a simple man . . . original, subtle and touching.”—Claire Tomalin, author of Charles Dickens: A Life

读后感

《一个人的朝圣》书名很有乱泼鸡汤的意味, 英文书名the unlikely pilgrimage of harold fry,更加直白,我喜欢这个unlikely,因为这个,让我们看到了这所谓的朝圣之路的艰难。 想来是如此的不可思议,一个退休了的老人,没有朋友也没有敌人,每天坐在阳光里如此的没有存在感。...

--去接受一些你不了解的东西,去争取,去相信自己可以改变一些事情。 --用心说服理性,选择忽略一切证据,去期待一种比不言自明的现实更大,更疯狂,也更美好的可能性。 --也许当你走出车门真真切切用双腿走路的时候,绵延不绝的土地并不是你能看到的唯一的事物。 -...

我是个无神论者。多年前当别人问到我的信仰时,我是这么回答的。慢慢我才了解到,信仰不仅停留在宗教层面,它可以是对任何一样东西的信念,是坚持的动力、是行为的准绳,是抚慰人心的力量。信念可以带来奇迹吗?我总是不敢相信,根深蒂固的“消极预测”阻碍我抱有希望,...

一本不错的通俗小说,但目之所及的书评都是“救赎”,“伟大”之类的形容词,让我觉得很不舒服。如此评论这本书的人,跟书中那些奉哈罗德为“朝圣者”而不明真相的人有什么两样? 从出发到抵达,哈罗德实际上并未搞清楚自己在做什么,在我看来,他只是遵从了自己的一时冲动(...

Bed-reading plan 1.0 finished!!! (Although on the halfway I mistakenly thought it was a chicken soup and nearly decided to quit...) Anyway, it's much better than I expected.
