Recensioner i media
"One of the sweetest, most delicately-written stories I've read in a long time. One man's walk along the length of England to save the life of a dying woman. Each chapter describes a different encounter along the way, with a definite nod to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Philosophical, intriguing, and profoundly moving." -- Richard Madeley Foyles website "Uplifting, funny and delicate" -- Jon Stock The Daily Telegraph "At times almost unbearably moving." Sunday Times "A brilliant and charming novel: full of comic panache yet acute and poignant." Spectator "one of the most moving, uplifting, inspiring novels I've ever read" Richard Madeley

En fin bok men det kan inte hjälpas att man känner att den dels hade tjänat på att kortas ned något, dels att slutet efter hela historien blir lite snopphugget. Att Harold och Queenie inte ens får en chans att prata och att Harold och Maureen inte får en chans att reda ut vad som hände. Det känns som om allt sker på ytan av alla de känslor som förmedlas. Inte konstigt då att författaren följer upp med två andra böcker, en om Maureen och en om Queenie. Men underligt att sonen David som intar en sådan särposition inte får en egen bok. Nej, med omfånget på boken om Harold Fry borde alla kort ha lagts på bordet.
