The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

This is a very good and a very true book, about people who have made mistakes and who are very, very sorry. This book also hit me between the eyes. It starts funny (with a dark undertone) and it remains light and witty - with a pleasing stab at modern marketing when the bunch dress in white pilgrimage t-shirts - but I did not see the final plot evolution coming. As a mom who has experienced the same thing I had wondered about Harolds son.

I don't think any book has made such an impression on me over the last years. I do not want to spoil the plot so I will refrain from saying more. But this is a very good and a very true book. Well written. It keeps you wondering. And it is just so, so human.
