The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy

I very much enjoyed The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy which tells the story of an important character in the author's previous novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.  The author says this is not a "sequel" rather it is the previous story from another perspective.  Harold Fry walked from one end of England to another to be reunited with his friend Queenie whom Harold had not seen for 20 years.  Queenie is in a nursing home for imminently dying patients and she is shocked to learn Harold is coming to see her after she sent him a letter.  She left suddenly 20 years previously without an explanation or goodbye to Harold.  She decides to set things right and composes a letter for him when he arrives.  The media picks up on Harold's walk and Queenie and her dying friends are given some excitement in their final days.  Queenie has hidden a guilty secret from Harold and is determined to tell the truth about what happened all those years ago.  This is a lovely story, but read Harold Fry first. 41/2/5
