It made me think about it in a different light. I read Queenie over the Thanksgiving weekend, and it was the perfect time to read it. We were a tall, married man who was kind and a short, single woman who loved him. I loved The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy. But I can say that Queenie is just as good, if not better. I can’t say this for sure, because it feels like too long ago that I read about Harold. Some people are saying that they like The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy even better than The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. For the same reasons, I have also loved Wild by Cheryl Strayed, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford (even though they were pets), I Am David by Ann Holm, The Lord of the Rings, The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty (even though this was mostly by bike, I think), The Outlander by Gil Adamson, and Flanagan’s Run (and this was running) by Tom McNab. I love a good walk, and I love the idea of walking a long way, going through small towns, meeting quirky people. I think one of the reasons I loved Harold Fry was because of his pilgrimage. I read this book shortly before starting my blog, so I don’t have a review of it, but it did make my Top 10 list for 2013. I love Harold Fry, and I loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Before I talk to you about Queenie Hennessy, I am going to talk a little bit about Harold Fry.
