一封突如其来的信,打破了平凡如往常的早晨。 哈罗德收到了二十年前相识的朋友奎妮的信。信上说她患了癌症。哈罗德震惊之余写了回信,并走出家门去投递。一个又一个邮筒,一条又一条街道,不知不觉开始了他整个朝圣的旅程。 这场六十五岁时的“撒欢”,如果不是一时兴起,这...
评分一。 很久没有安静地读一本书了,更久没有在一天的时间里读完一本书。如果不是这次出门忘了带手机,也许还是会拖上个一星期才能把它读完,甚至更久。我给自己找了一些理由,比如没有时间,比如文字写得不合口味。这是我潜意识里管用的伎俩,为的是让自己心安理得地好过。 但...

评分一本不错的通俗小说,但目之所及的书评都是“救赎”,“伟大”之类的形容词,让我觉得很不舒服。如此评论这本书的人,跟书中那些奉哈罗德为“朝圣者”而不明真相的人有什么两样? 从出发到抵达,哈罗德实际上并未搞清楚自己在做什么,在我看来,他只是遵从了自己的一时冲动(...
评分如果哈罗德没有收到那封信,如果他没有走出那个家。有谁会知道这个普通的不能再普通的人,他的人生是怎样的悲痛呢? 不会有人关心这样的人。他们不成功也不优秀。长相普通。家境普通。一辈子做一份工作。孩子无法好好生活,却无能为力。没有什么见识。没有什么谈资。很久没有...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.
Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce’s remarkable debut. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.
Still in his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one fascinating character after another, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen, his wedding day, his joy in fatherhood, come rushing back to him—allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years.
And then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy.
A novel of unsentimental charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise—and utterly irresistible—storyteller.
Advance praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
“When it seems almost too late, Harold Fry opens his battered heart and lets the world rush in. This funny, poignant story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey moved and inspired me.”—Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank
“There’s tremendous heart in this debut novel by Rachel Joyce, as she probes questions that are as simple as they are profound: Can we begin to live again, and live truly, as ourselves, even in middle age, when all seems ruined? Can we believe in hope when hope seems to have abandoned us? I found myself laughing through tears, rooting for Harold at every step of his journey. I’m still rooting for him.”—Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
“Marvelous! I held my breath at his every blister and cramp, and felt as if by turning the pages, I might help his impossible quest succeed.”—Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand
“Harold’s journey is ordinary and extraordinary; it is a journey through the self, through modern society, through time and landscape. It is a funny book, a wise book, a charming book—but never cloying. It’s a book with a savage twist—and yet never seems manipulative. Perhaps because Harold himself is just wonderful. . . . I’m telling you now: I love this book.”—Erica Wagner, The Times (UK)
“The odyssey of a simple man . . . original, subtle and touching.”—Claire Tomalin, author of Charles Dickens: A Life
为自己找些事情做是一生不变的主题
评分读了快两个月了,还是读不下去,几次想弃书。原本以为这本书是寻找内心之旅,会有些深度,但看了2/3真是对作者的絮叨厌烦,不知道为何成了畅销书
评分@London@home@Celestine hotel@way to work, 像首歌,见证了我的六月, 但作为一本书,耐看并不是什么好品质
评分啃了几个月啃完的原版????作业对生活的感受十分细腻,表达很有层次感,讨论的主题也很有现实意义。
评分第一本看完的原版书,忒鸡汤。
