Joyce, Rachel, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is a companion to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It tells the story of Harold’s trek through the eyes of Queenie as she awaits his arrival. Queenie may be dying, but her sense of humor is intact. Harold Fry fans will relish this.
This was a wonderful book, giving the story from Rachel Joyce's first book from the perspective of Miss Queenie Hennessy. I wish I had taken the time to review it before it was archived, as I remember really enjoying it.
This is Rachel Joyce's companion to her prior novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Harold’s life and his outlook on his relationship to Queenie, a colleague from work, moves the first book forward. This takes the story take off as he is startled to receive a brief note from Queenie Hennessy after she left 20 years ago. Harold then begin a journey of a life time to be with his one true love. He journeys to Queenie as he learns she is in hospice. The journey is one twist and turns and soul searching.
I didn't realize that there was a previous book when I requested this, so no surprise when much of it doesn't make enough sense to me.
