    What is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry about?

    Harold Fry is an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey. Grey, tired, and stuck in his routine, Harold sets off to post a letter to a dying friend—and just keeps walking. From South Devon to Berwick-upon-Tweed, he walks the length of England in a spontaneous act of hope and redemption, leaving his bewildered wife Maureen behind.
