Publisher's Summary
When Fiona Edwards first sees the lanky backpacker striding up the lane toward her award-winning farmhouse bed-and-breakfast in the remote mountains of North Wales, she's puzzled. She's used to unexpected strangers, but few arrive on foot. The man to whom she opens her door is middle-aged, unshaven, sweat-soaked…and arrestingly handsome. What neither of them knows at that moment is that their lives are about to change forever.
American Alec Hudson has carried the ashes—and the memory—of his late ex-wife, Gwynne, all the way from London's Heathrow Airport, honoring her request that he scatter them atop a mountain they had climbed together years before, the same brooding peak whose jagged cliffs rise to the sky from the back pastures of Fiona's farm. But the weather doesn't cooperate, and as Fiona and Alec wait for it to clear, they are drawn together by mutual loss, longing, and the miracle of love at midlife.
On the day he finally reaches the summit, Alec is caught in a vicious hailstorm. As he struggles to descend, he stumbles upon the body of a man he recognizes from a photograph at the farm: It is Fiona's ailing and reclusive husband, David, and he is close to death.
Will North's debut novel is a story about grief and hope, about love and loss, and about two people struggling with the agonizing complexities of fidelity—to a spouse, to a moral code, to each other, and to a passion neither thought would ever appear again. By turns lyrical and gripping, set amid a landscape of breathtaking beauty and unpredictable danger, this is a story you will not soon forget.

Captivating in a very good way
It’s been awhile since I listened rapturously to a love story like The Long Walk Home. I loved it immensely and recommend it without any reservations whatsoever. Well written and narrated, well worth reading.

Just a wonderful listen
I loved this story. I’ve been listening to such a lot of brain numbing romances lately (they were free!!) Which also lead me to lose faith in the reviews I read. But this was wonderful. The reviews were right. I miss it already.

Great story
A lovely story which had wonderful graphic descriptions of the countryside, farming, Wakes and personal relationships. I really enjoyed the pace and retelling of this story. It’s so much better having the correct pronunciation of all those welsh names rather than best guessing them yourself.

Twists and turns on the long walk home
A beautiful story stretching over years of joy, heartache and resolution. I'll be seeking more tales by Will North.
