Meet a pair of beloved charactersâHarold Fry and Queenie Hennessyâin an eBook bundle that collects two linked novels from a wise and utterly irresistible storyteller.
â[Rachel Joyce] has a lovely sense of the possibilities of redemption. . . . Sheâs cleared space where miracles are still possible.ââRon Charles, The Washington Post
Rachel Joyceâs unforgettable debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, became a runaway international bestseller as readers fell in love with her unassuming hero as he embarked on an incredible adventure spurred by a letter from his old friend Queenie. In The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, Joyce reveals the other side of the story in a journey just as remarkable as Haroldâs. Together these exquisite parallel novels illuminate the feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, and the small yet pivotal moments that can change a personâs life.
