Editorial Review | "One of the sweetest, most delicately-written stories I've read in a long time. One man's walk along the length of England to save the life of a dying woman. Each chapter describes a different encounter along the way, with a definite nod to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Philosophical, intriguing, and profoundly moving." (Richard Madeley Foyles website) "Uplifting, funny and delicate" (Jon Stock The Daily Telegraph) "At times almost unbearably moving." (Sunday Times) "A brilliant and charming novel: full of comic panache yet acute and poignant." (Spectator) "one of the most moving, uplifting, inspiring novels I've ever read" (Richard Madeley) |
