Harold believed that as long as he kept walking, Queenie would live. What he didn't know was that his decision to walk had caused her both alarm and fear. How could she wait? What would she say? Forced to confront the past, Queenie realizes she must write again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this poignant parallel story to Harold's saga, acclaimed author Rachel Joyce brings Queenie Hennessy's voice into sharp focus. Setting pen to paper, Queenie makes a journey of her own, a journey that is even bigger than Harold's; one word after another, she promises to confess long-buried truths--about her modest childhood, her studies at Oxford, the heartbreak that brought her to Kingsbridge and to loving Harold, her friendship with his son, the solace she has found in a garden by the sea. And, finally, the devastating secret she has kept from Harold for all these years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A wise, tender, layered novel that gathers tremendous emotional force, \u003ci\u003eThe Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy \u003c\/i\u003eunderscores the resilience of the human spirit, beautifully illuminating the small yet pivotal moments that can change a person's life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRachel Joyce\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eMiss Benson's Beetle, The Music Shop\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e and international bestsellers \u003ci\u003eThe Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePerfect\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the digital short story \u003ci\u003eA Faraway Smell of Lemon\u003c\/i\u003e and a story collection, \u003ci\u003eA Snow Garden \u0026amp; Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e.
