The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - Questions

Hello,

I hope everyone is enjoying the book this month. Don't forget that we're meeting on 31st October this month. Here are some questions for you to think about while you're reading this months book:

- Talk about the obvious—why Harold Fry never returns from the mailbox. Is he experiencing a mid-life crisis, or spiritual crisis...or what? Has anything like that ever happened to you—a snap decision that turned out to be not just of-the-moment, but momentous as well?

- Why is Harold's journey called a "pilgrimage" in the title?

- What is Rachel Joyce satirizing as crowds begin to gather and Harold's journey becomes a cause celebre—with its t-shirts, Tweets, and Facebook posts? How do the people who join Harold in his trek see his journey—what are they looking for, or what do they expect from Harold? Why do the crowds eventually leave him behind?

I hope everyone is enjoying this months book
