The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
Harold Fry is an unremarkable man who has made mistakes with all the important things: being a husband, a father and a friend. And now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. Until, one day – Harold learns his old friend Queenie is dying. Harold leaves home, walking to his post office to send her a letter. And out of the blue, Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her… From TMDB

I’ll definitely seek out the rest of the series. Next up: ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’, by Rachel Joyce.

Much lighter read than the one I just finished, but similarly "riding inside the main character's head". Surprisingly simple start. I'm not much like Harold?, but I could see myself doing something that impulsive. I like him.
