Ever read one of those books that make you wonder about your life and how you're living it? Well, this book manages to do that.
The story is about an old guy who upon receiving a letter from an old friend who's dying of Cancer, heads out to post a letter back to her but instead decides that he'll go and meet her. He abandons everything and just sets off on foot, walking nearly 700 miles, for 88 days straight to meet her one final time to wish her a proper goodbye.
The book is a journey into Harold Fry's life, while he takes this unlikely journey to meet his friend. The book reflects on many themes like relationships, friendships, parenting, life, love and loss.
The book is like Vodka. A bit slow paced in the beginning but halfway through you get pulled into Harold's walk and then out of nowhere the ending hits you like a brick. It's emotionally intense and bound to make you feel things. Especially if you have lost a loved one. Surely worth a read.
