À propos de cet audio

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 20 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.Told in simple, emotionally-honest prose, with a mischievous bite, this is a novel about the journey we all must take to learn who we are; it is about loving and letting go. And most of all it is about finding joy in unexpected places and at times we least expect.

The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is the second book in the Harold Fry series. Author, Rachel Joyce calls it a companion book not a sequel or prequel. I agree, as it tells us about Queenie's and Harold's relationship and we also learn about Harold's and Maureen's son, David. In Harold's story, we learn that he is walking across England to get to Queenie to see her one last time before she dies. In this story, Queenie is dying, but she tells up about her life when she knew Harold and his son David before his death. We learn about her illness, as well as those caring for her and the other patients she is with in hospice.

Queenie's stay in hospice is anything but morbid, at least while we read it. The characters of the other terminal residents and the wonderfully caring sisters at St. Bernadine's Hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed are so well developed that I connected and cared about them all. This book summoned up so many emotions in me. I loved the patients at the hospice and was saddened and moved to tears as their time on earth ended. Then there were the feelings I got as I read about David. He was young, but selfish, expecting everyone to give him something and then cruel when he used Queenie's poems. I was angry with him, but then sad as I realized that he was hurting so bad. I felt pity for him and Maureen as they struggled with a relationship. I could go on and on, but don't want to spoil the story for anyone. When Queenie gets a letter from Harold asking her to wait so he could see her one more time, she begins writing letters to him in case he doesn't make it and this is the story. It is a story of longing, secrets, unrequited love and loss, as well as facing our mortality, caring, friendship and love. I purchased this audiobook as I was told that the narration makes it so much better and I agree. The narration was wonderful with Celia Imrie giving great voices to the various characters. I highly recommend this story.

A wonderful story of unrequited love and mortality
