This surprise bestseller from the British writer Rachel Joyce – then a debut author – is a delightful, gently ambling adventure story that follows the titular Harold as he leaves his comfortable retirement home on foot with nothing but the clothes on his back after receiving a letter from the hospice bed of his old friend Queenie Hennessey.
