The Love Story of Miss Queenie Hennessey: A Novel by Rachel Joyce *****

What a beautiful novel! This is the Queenie from The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, the woman who Harold was walking to see after twenty years. Queenie fills  in a lot of the background to the first novel, as we learn all about her, how she met Harold, her relationship with Harold's troubled son, her illness, her fellow patients at the hospice where she now resides. And there is a lovely surprise at the end, too. I just loved this!
