Reviews
"A beautiful novella about motherhood, grief and the power of forgiveness. . . . Prickly and wary of strangers, Maureen is nonetheless portrayed with compassion and tenderness by Joyce, and the novel's conclusion is deeply moving and life-affirming." -- The Observer "This slim novella . . . contains a world of emotion . . . The kindness of strangers is Joyce's theme, as well as forgiveness and grief. No one writes difficult feelings better." -- The Daily Mail "A real treat . . . A story about belonging and understanding." -- Prima "A gorgeous read." -- The i Paper ("40 Best Books to Read This Autumn") "I was enthralled from the first page of this short, powerful book. We all have some Maureen inside us, and so the journey we take with her across England and into her own personal tumult is a satisfying, visceral one." --Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward "This book is a perfect gem. Fans of Olive Kitteridge and Eleanor Oliphant will love Maureen Fry, and it's a brilliant coda to the Harold Fry series." --J. Ryan Stradal, bestselling author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota "This is a quiet miracle of a book. Rachel Joyce is a master at mixing humor and pathos, and at showing hard truths about life that nonetheless make us grateful to be here." --Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv and Earth's the Right Place for Love "Profoundly moving and deeply human, this story of self-discovery and forgiveness is essential reading. I loved every word." --Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry "I adored Harold and Queenie, but who knew Maureen waited in the wings to steal my heart? A testament to just how exquisitely Rachel Joyce understands people, and written with kindness and such perception. I can't recommend it enough." --Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and A Tidy Ending "Maureen is so beautifully and unflinchingly portrayed--a complex contradiction of brittle and prickly with an underbelly of fragility and fear. Her journey is compelling and profoundly moving and leaves the reader feeling fully satisfied and just a little lighter." --Ruth Hogan, author of Madame Burova and The Keeper of Lost Things, "Rachel Joyce has a genius for creating the most damaged and difficult characters and making us care deeply about their redemption. Maureen is a powerful finale to her classic trilogy of heartbreak and healing." --Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures "Maureen is so beautifully and unflinchingly portrayed--a complex contradiction of brittle and prickly with an underbelly of fragility and fear. Her journey is compelling and profoundly moving and leaves the reader feeling fully satisfied and just a little lighter." --Ruth Hogan, author of Madame Burova and The Keeper of Lost Things "Rachel Joyce is deeply attuned to the complex rhythms of life and love, and she sublimates this understanding into an unforgettable story. I'll never forget this wonderful novel or the sunny, slightly teary day I spent reading it." --Donal Ryan, author of The Queen of Dirt Island and Strange Flowers "Beautifully written and endlessly touching, Rachel Joyce once again captures what it means to be human in the final book of her wonderful trilogy." --Phaedra Patrick, author of The Book Share and The Library of Lost and Found "This book is short but very special. As fans of Rachel Joyce might expect, it's funny, touching, and quite beautiful. It's also packed with wisdom about love and loss--and is sure to provide comfort to anyone who's known grief." --Matt Cain, author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle "In this slender, lyrical novel, Rachel Joyce offers a story as epic and encompassing as that wide-armed Angel of the North. A journey of redemption, forgiveness and love . . . a journey you don't want to miss." --Helen Paris, author of Lost Property "Maureen is the sort of person we pass in the street every day, every hour, and probably give little thought to. She is difficult, perhaps a little brittle, unable to engage successfully with the world, and maybe hard to warm to. . . . But Rachel allows us to see into her complex universe." --Damian Dibben, author of The Colour Storm "Rachel Joyce writes with incredible depth, beauty, and heart. Reading her prose is like listening to great music--sometimes soft and sweet, sometimes heartrending, always beguiling. Maureen Fry is a prickly kind of star . . . but wow, how she shines!" --Hazel Prior, author of Call of the Penguins "This is a deceptively simple story of love, forgiveness, fulfillment, and hope. I can't think of any other novelist quite as tender and compassionate as Rachel Joyce, who understands that miracle of transformation when human fragility becomes strength of spirit." --Bel Mooney, author of Lifelines "This is a fitting and deeply moving end to the trilogy of Harold Fry. A portrait of a woman adrift in grief, it is as fragile as a songbird and just as beautiful." --Sarah Winman, author of Still Life "Just brilliant." --Patrick Gale, author of Take Nothing With You and A Place Called Winter, "This book is a perfect gem. Fans of Olive Kitteridge and Eleanor Oliphant will love Maureen Fry, and it's a brilliant coda to the Harold Fry series." --J. Ryan Stradal, bestselling author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota "Profoundly moving and deeply human, this story of self-discovery and forgiveness is essential reading. I loved every word." --Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry "I adored Harold and Queenie, but who knew Maureen waited in the wings to steal my heart? A testament to just how exquisitely Rachel Joyce understands people, and written with kindness and such perception. I can't recommend it enough." --Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and A Tidy Ending "This is a quiet miracle of a book. I loved the absurdity of some scenes and the tenderness of others, and then I was met with the kind of gasp-able (truly--I gasped) transcendent experience that only the best books can deliver. Rachel Joyce has been a favorite of mine since The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry , and Maureen only reinforces my idea that she is a master at mixing humor and pathos, and at showing hard truths about life and living that nonetheless make us grateful to be here." --Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv and Earth's The Right Place For Love "Rachel Joyce has a genius for creating the most damaged and difficult characters and making us care deeply about their redemption. Maureen is a powerful finale to her classic trilogy of heartbreak and healing." --Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures "Maureen is so beautifully and unflinchingly portrayed--a complex contradiction of brittle and prickly with an underbelly of fragility and fear.

The kindness of strangers is Joyce's theme, as well as forgiveness and grief. No one writes difficult feelings better." -- The Daily Mail "This book echoes 'Harold Fry'--the journey brings some redemption, some understanding, and some peace. . . . Joyce gets brilliantly right the physical details of the trip, as well as Maureen's emotional transformation. It is not sudden, it is not miraculous, it is not complete, but it is entirely believable. . . . Joyce is an empathetic writer, and the story is one of hope and redemption." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A real treat . . . A story about belonging and understanding." -- Prima "[This] slim, lyrical book . . . delves deeply into a character who is at once familiar and enigmatic. . . . Bittersweet and quietly stunning, Maureen is a poignant end to Joyce's trilogy about the Frys and a meditation on opening up and moving forward." -- Shelf Awareness "I was enthralled from the first page of this short, powerful book. We all have some Maureen inside us, and so the journey we take with her across England and into her own personal tumult is a satisfying, visceral one." --Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward "This book is a perfect gem.

I loved the absurdity of some scenes and the tenderness of others, and then I was met with the kind of gasp-able (truly--I gasped) transcendent experience that only the best books can deliver. Rachel Joyce has been a favorite of mine since The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, and Maureen only reinforces my idea that she is a master at mixing humor and pathos, and showing hard truths about life and living that nonetheless make us grateful to be here." --Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv "Rachel Joyce has a genius for creating the most damaged and difficult characters and making us care deeply about their redemption. Maureen is a powerful finale to her classic trilogy of heartbreak and healing." --Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures "Maureen is so beautifully and unflinchingly portrayed--a complex contradiction of brittle and prickly with an underbelly of fragility and fear. Her journey is compelling and profoundly moving and leaves the reader feeling fully satisfied and just a little lighter." --Ruth Hogan, author of Madame Burova and The Keeper of Lost Things "Rachel Joyce is deeply attuned to the complex rhythms of life and love, and she sublimates this understanding into an unforgettable story. I'll never forget this wonderful novel or the sunny, slightly teary day I spent reading it." --Donal Ryan, author of The Queen of Dirt Island and Strange Flowers "Beautifully written and endlessly touching, Rachel Joyce once again captures what it means to be human in the final book of her wonderful trilogy." --Phaedra Patrick, author of The Book Share and The Library of Lost and Found "Rachel Joyce writes with incredible depth, beauty, and heart. Reading her prose is like listening to great music--sometimes soft and sweet, sometimes heartrending, always beguiling. Maureen Fry is a prickly kind of star . . . but wow, how she shines!" --Hazel Prior, author of Call of the Penguins "This is a fitting and deeply moving end to the trilogy of Harold Fry. A portrait of a woman adrift in grief, it is as fragile as a songbird and just as beautiful." --Sarah Winman, author of Still Life, "I was enthralled . . . Maureen is a wonderful, frustrating character--so rigid, and so frightened of what she might learn about herself and her own past. We all have some Maureen inside us, and so the journey we take with her across England and into her own personal tumult is a satisfying, visceral one." --Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward "This book is a perfect gem. Fans of Olive Kitteridge and Eleanor Oliphant will love Maureen Fry, and it's a brilliant coda to the Harold Fry series." --J. Ryan Stradal, bestselling author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota "Profoundly moving and deeply human, this story of self-discovery and forgiveness is essential reading. I loved every word." --Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry "I adored Harold and Queenie, but who knew Maureen waited in the wings to steal my heart? A testament to just how exquisitely Rachel Joyce understands people, and written with kindness and such perception. I can't recommend it enough." --Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and A Tidy Ending "This is a quiet miracle of a book. I loved the absurdity of some scenes and the tenderness of others, and then I was met with the kind of gasp-able (truly--I gasped) transcendent experience that only the best books can deliver.

Synopsis
"A touching tale about heartbreak and healing . . . If you loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, make time to read this finale to the trilogy."-- Good Housekeeping Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there. Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make. Only she can finish the journey her husband started. Maureen and Harold Fry have settled into a quiet life, but when an unexpected message from the North disturbs their peaceful equilibrium, Maureen realizes that it's now her turn to make a journey. But she is not like her affable, easygoing husband. By turns outspoken, then vulnerable, she struggles to form bonds with the people she meets--and the landscape she crosses has radically changed. Maureen has no sense of what she will find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she has to get there. A deeply felt, lyrical, and powerful novel, Maureen explores love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves a little better. While this book stands alone, it is also the extraordinarily moving finale to a trilogy that began with the phenomenal bestseller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and continued in The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy . Like those beloved books, Maureen has all the power and weight of a classic .
