What a delightful book! This is a sleeper - you don't realize how good it
is at first and then, bam, you fall in love with it. There are a lot of layers here and Harold's journey, while seemingly unrealistic at first, is reflective of our desire to do something drastic, to really take a stand and make a difference. Just how his journey - the pilgrimage of the title - progresses and transforms him and others is deftly told and you'll find yourself cheering him on. The author weaves all the layers together into a very satisfying ending. Highly recommended.
