She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what shell find at the end of the road.

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.
