An enjoyable and very readable tale reminding me of a geriatric-cross between Kerouac's 'On the Road' and 'Forest Gump'. Harold Fry goes to post a get-well soon card to an old work colleague but then walks past the post-box and decides to deliver it by hand. This confuses his wife, captures the passing interest of the media and various hangers-on and becomes a valuable time of self-assessment and reflection on regret and memory.
