Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn''t end there. Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.
Maureen Fry has settled into the quiet life she now shares with her husband Harold after his iconic walk across England. Now, ten years later, an unexpected message from the North disturbs her equilibrium again, and this time it is Maureen''s turn to make her own journey.
But Maureen is not like Harold. She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she''ll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North is a deeply felt, lyrical novel, full of warmth and kindness. Short, exquisite, powerful: it is about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better.

Bonnie Garmus'Astonishingly powerful... Truly stunning' Ruth Jones............................................................................. .........................................................

Short, exquisite, while it stands in its own right, it is also the moving finale to a trilogy that began with the phenomenal bestseller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and continued with The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy. This is a slender book but it has all the power and weight of a classic. Rachel Joyce's latest novel, The Homemade God is out now.
