I was introduced to these characters almost two years ago through "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" and instantly fell in love with not only Harold and Queenie but also the author, Rachel Joyce. Her ability to weave a story with memorable characters that are both real and surreal. In this companion novel to Harold Fry, Joyce tells us the other side of the story of the woman that Harold is walking the entire length of England to see. We see Harold through Queenie's eyes, the love that she has to keep secret from him until her death and her fight to stay alive to tell him the story she never could before.
The last chapter, "The third letter" will break your heart and have you wiping tears from your eyes.
