About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there.

Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.

Maureen Fry has settled into the quiet life she now shares with her husband Harold after his iconic walk across England. Now, ten years later, an unexpected message from the North disturbs her equilibrium again, and this time it is Maureen's turn to make her own journey.

But Maureen is not like Harold. She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she'll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.

Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North is a deeply felt, lyrical and powerful novel, full of warmth and kindness, about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better. While it stands in its own right, it is also the exquisitely moving finale to a trilogy that began with the phenomenal bestseller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and continued with The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy.

I loved every book in the series. The story lines were fascinating with twists that I didn't see coming. And the narrator was brilliant!

Loved the whole series!

Beautiful, significant end to this wonderful series of books. Maureen, the most unlovable character of all, deserved this happier ending. Rachel Joyce is such a perceptive, generous writer.

Very good end to this moving story

I enjoyed this series and it’s a shame it is over. The writing places you at the centre of the action and paints the characters to be relatable and believable. Products of their circumstances, they are flawed and loveable at the same time. All three books are wonderfully narrated and this is a big part of the charm. This is a short book with a big story and I’m sure any listener won’t feel disappointed or shortchanged. I finished it in a day as it was too good to put down. Thanks

It must be the only time I didn’t check the audible story length! I assumed the 3rd part of what appeared to be a trilogy would be the same length.

Just as I was getting ready for some more depth - the credits came!

Someone should have told Maureen she was supposed to walk, not drive.

Too short but pleasant

A very good end to the trilogy, an emotional journey to Queenie’s garden well written.
