Rachel Joyce’s best-selling novel The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a quintessentially British story of caring and kindness across the country.  The book, which has now been turned into a film starring Jim Broadbent, centres on a man who walks from Devon to Northumberland in hopes of saving his friend who has terminal cancer. Along the way, he meets an assortment of people from across the economic spectrum as they all offer a helping hand on his physically demanding journey.  For Joyce, that message is more important now than when she first wrote Harold Fry’s adventure over a decade ago.  The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is in cinemas from 28 April.
