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.
Harold Fry is the most ordinary of men. He just might be a hero for us all.
Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent has starred in a huge range of films, from British favourites including Bridget Jones, Hot Fuzz and The Iron Lady, to Hollywood blockbusters such as Moulin Rouge, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and the Harry Potter films. He is set to star in the upcoming film adaptation of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Customer Reviews
A wonderfully entertaining tale
Sometimes the ordinary can be quite extraordinary. Loved this story that I listened to while on a long bus/train ride. It was the ideal travelling companion.
Ups and downs, but worth the journey
An oddly touching but challenging story. It’s interesting that something so unlikely has such a realistic feel. It’s not saccharine, which is a positive from my perspective. it does have frustrating moments (rather like life) and a confronting revelation, but it still resonates.
I want to walk
