A thin soil for a plot. Harold gets a letter from an old work colleague who is dying of cancer. He writes a reply and sets off to post the letter and just keeps walking from Kingsbridge in Devon to Berwick on Tweed in Scotland. Along the way he meets an assortment of characters who all help him find himself and come to terms with life changing events in his past. A little like Harold the plot seems to lose its way now and then and, like Harold, could probably have reached the end sooner than it does. The book handles the end well though. 6/10
