"[Rachel Joyce] has a lovely sense of the possibilities of redemption. . . . She's cleared space where miracles are still possible." - Ron Charles, The Washington Post
Rachel Joyce's unforgettable debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, became a runaway international bestseller as readers fell in love with her unassuming hero as he embarked on an incredible adventure spurred by a letter from his old friend Queenie. In The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, Joyce reveals the other side of the story in a journey just as remarkable as Harold's. Together these exquisite parallel novels illuminate the feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, and the small yet pivotal moments that can change a person's life.
Praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
"[A] gorgeously poignant novel of hope and transformation." - O: The Oprah Magazine
"Joyce's beguiling debut is [a] modest-seeming story of 'ordinary' English lives that enthralls and moves you as it unfolds." - People (four stars)
"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is not just a book about lost love. It is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"A moving story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey." - Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank
"A gentle adventure with an emotional wallop . . . a smart, feel-good story." - Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today

Praise for The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy
"This lovely book is full of joy. . . . [Queenie's] love song is for us. Thank you, Rachel Joyce." - The Washington Post
"Joyce's writing at moments has a simplicity that sings. She captures hope best of all." - The Guardian
"[A] deeply affecting novel . . . Culminating in a shattering revelation, [Queenie's] tale is funny, sad, hopeful: She's bound for death, but full of life." - People
"Like Harold Fry, Queenie is delightful and dark. . . . But Joyce is so deft that when the book is over and you close the cover, the darkness fades. What sticks with you is the light of Queenie's unwavering love." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Wonderful . . . It is not necessary to read Harold's story before reading Queenie's to enjoy this bittersweet novel, which is a pleasure in its own right. However, reading both will only serve to double that pleasure." - The Independent
"After two such involving novels, readers are bound to wish for a third." - The Telegraph
