Critics 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. * Foyles website *
Uplifting, funny and delicate * The Daily Telegraph *
