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 and
powerful novel full of warmth and kindness about love loss and how we come to terms with
the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better. 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.
