The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry in Books

Oct 5, 2020

Despite the slightly Christian undertones, this is a truly touching story about an ordinary man who compounds his long suffering life by suddenly deciding to walk almost the length of Britain to see an old friend and colleague who is in the final stages of cancer.

Beautifully written and carefully filled with just the right amounts of flashbacks and foreshadowing, we follow Harold Fry and discover him as he discovers his own self. While "coming of age" isn't typically used for a story about a man his age (he's retired), it does seem to fit in this instance.

Cori June (3033 KP) rated Red Unicorn (Unicorn, #3) in Books

Dec 3, 2018

The final book. If you have read my other reviews of this series I have suggested that you read the gold unicorn first and then the black unicorn, because that was what I did. However this one you need to save for last. Tanaquil broken hearted has to heal and of course isn’t getting that from her mom (thanks Warabex said with dripping sarcasm). And even though she is angry throughout The series Tanaquil wasn’t bitter. This amazing book about Tanaquil’s continuing journey of self discovery is the perfect ending. Peeve gets more self aware and how can you not love this little pet peeve! It is a journey that is needed no matter how much your perspective changes with a message that you should never forget.
