When Queenie Hennessy discovers that Harold Fry is walking the length of England to save her, and all she has to do is wait, she is shocked. Her note had explained she was dying. How can she wait?A new volunteer at the hospice suggests that Queenie should write again; only this time she must tell Harold everything. In confessing to secrets she has hidden for twenty years, she will find atonement for the past. As the volunteer points out, 'Even though you've done your travelling, you're starting a new journey too.'
Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was the beginning.

That story.. a very simple story of an ordinary man who undertakes a journey of 600 walking miles to say goodbye to an old friend spending her remaining days in a hospice spoke to my heart in so many ways. When I discovered that Rachel Joyce had written a novel which would be a companion to Harold's story, I was filled with both excitement AND trepidation. I wouldAs much as I loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, I liked this one even more. Both of these books contain the stories of ordinary lives, made extraordinary because of the actions of the characters to connect with others. Harold's story was his walking 600 miles to see Queenie before she died; Queenie's story was about her wait for him in the hospice, to stay alive until he arrived.

While I was reading The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, I often wondered about who Queenie Hennessy really was and why Harold Fry would make a trek walking hundreds of miles to see her before she dies . Rachel Joyce in this novel has answered all of the questions I had about Queenie and I now know that she was worth every mile that Harold walked and then some .Queenie is in a hospice spending her last days writing a letter to a man she worked with at a brewery in an English town .

If only you could walk to the desk and say to the assistant, Id like to return the painful memories about and take out some happier ones, pleaseThe Lovesong of Miss Queenie Hennessy is the third novel by actress, radio playwright and author, Rachel Joyce, and is a companion volume to her first novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

This was a wonderful followup to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I know the author does not intend this to be a series read, and it can be read as a stand alone, but these two books compliment each other so well both in storytelling and my ratings! They both get solid 5 stars. Rachel Joyce is such a wonderful writer. I listened to this one and the narrator did a fantastic job as well. Loved it.
