The stars began to prick the night sky, one after another, so that the growing darkness trembled. Even as he looked he found them.

Harold and the Letter
The letter that would change everything arrived on a Tuesday. It was an ordinary morning in mid-April that smelled of clean washing and grass cuttings. Harold Fry sat at the breakfast table, freshly shaved, in a clean shirt and tie, with a slice of toast that he wasn't eating. He gazed beyond the kitchen window at the clipped lawn, which was spiked in the middle by Maureen's telescopic washing line, and trapped on all three sides by the neighbors' stockade fencing.

I loved this book, and the beginning brings it all flooding back.
ReplyDeleteI've heard wonderful things about this but have yet to pick it up. Great teaser blurbs!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHmm...wonder what is in the letter.
ReplyDeleteFabulous description. I love to watch the stars appear.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Freda!
Oh I loved this book a lot, and its sequel too!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma! So do I! But I'm not finished with The love song of Miss Queenie Hennessy. Lovely so far.
DeleteThis sounds good. Would like to hear your thoughts on it. I would love for your readers to check out my BB and 56... http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewEAPD-LB
ReplyDeleteLovely descriptive snippet. I think I would like to read this one!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this book and have been curious. I love the beginning! So descriptive. It makes me wonder what's in the letter. It sounds like Harold is okay in the 56 but I'm definitely intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI read the book you are featuring and recommend it. A cross country walk, an unusual cast of characters, a midlife crisis involving walking. Touches of humor.
ReplyDeleteHi Freda! I'm so happy that you are finally reading Harold Fry. Hope it will bring you lots of joy and hours of reading pleasure. Please let me know if you enjoyed it. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteThis one has been on my TBR for awhile.
ReplyDeleteReally liked this book! Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteHi Freda,
ReplyDeleteLove the title. Sounds interesting. Have a great day!
Both of thesse teasers are great - this is a new to me book and I'll have to add it to my list. Thanks for adding my link:)
ReplyDeleteI've been in a reading/blogging slump for a while so haven't joined in on F56 for a while. Hopefully I'll snap out of it and get back to it.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to read The Unlikely Pilgrimage for a while but never got around to it, definitely adding it to my TBR though.

It's an amazing read! You should give it a go soon, you won't regret it.
DeleteIf possible, read The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennesy alongside. I'm sure it will be worth it. The two books truly are a companion to each other.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm gonna search Amazon for a copy today!
