Harold Fry, a recently retired and unremarkable man living in a quiet English village, receives a letter from an old friend, Queenie Hennessy, informing him that she is in hospice care. While on his way to post a reply, Harold decides to walk to her bedside, convinced that as long as he keeps walking, she will stay alive. Without proper shoes, supplies, or preparation, Harold embarks on a 600-mile journey across England. The novel became a bestseller and has been translated into multiple languages.
