    Da Harold Fry, pensionist og gift med Maureen, modtager et brev fra en tidligere og nu døende kollega Queenie, ved han ikke, at han har taget hul på sit livs rejse: En 800 km lang vandring til fods fra Devon i Sydengland til det sydlige til Berwick-upon-Tweed i nord. Harold modtager Queenies brev ved morgenbordet. Hans hustru gennem 40 år, Maureen, kan godt huske Queenie, der var bogholder i det lille firma, hvor Harold var sælger, og hun har aldrig haft de to mistænkt for at have haft et forhold, så det er også med sindro, at hun modtager Harolds første opkald om, at han besluttet sig for at aflevere sit brev til hende personligt. Hun venter ham dog hjem til tetid og bliver derfor både vred og urolig, da han ikke dukker op - og timer bliver til dage, der bliver til uger. Hans fravær får Maureen til at tænke over deres samliv, glæder og sorger, og gamle følelser vækkes til live igen.På sin vej op gennem England har Harold også tid til at reflektere over sit liv med Maureen. Harold deler sin historie om brevet til Queenie med de mennesker han møder undervejs. Rygterne om hans færd spreder sig og antager hysteriske dimensioner, bl.a. bliver han en overgang fulgt på landsdækkende tv. Dette forårsager, at Harrold snart har en stor skare af følgesvende på sin rejse til Queenie. "... charmerende og indsigtsfuld" - Kristeligt dagblad"... vældig godt skrevet." - Litteratursiden

Orphan Jane learns at an early age that self-control is the surest means of retaining self-respect in adversity. It is a lesson that serves her well in the years ahead as she endures the misery of life with her cruel, uncaring aunt, followed by the harsh regime at Lowood Institution, a charity school for poor children. After taking the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, she meets the master of the house, the brooding, enigmatic Edward Rochester, and finds herself falling in love with him. It seems as if happiness may finally be within her grasp - but a series of strange events leads her to believe that Rochester is concealing a dark secret. When the truth is revealed, the heartbroken Jane will need all her inner strength and resilience to face up to it... Dramatised for radio by bestselling novelist Rachel Joyce (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), this iconic love story stars Amanda Hale as Jane and Tom Burke as Rochester.

    I 1972 blev der lagt to sekunder til tiden for at skabe balance mellem faktisk tid og jordens bevægelse, men hvad har det af konsekvenser for vores liv? Byron Hemming er et følsomt, fantasifuldt barn, som bliver oprigtigt bekymret, da hans bedste ven fortæller ham, at der skal lægges to sekunder oveni tiden, og det er med god grund, for da Byrons mor er ved at komme for sent til at aflevere børnene i skole, træffer hun et skæbnesvangert valg, som får katastrofale konsekvenser for Byron. Hans perfekte liv er ødelagt. Var det de to ekstra sekunders skyld? Parallelt med Byrons historie hører vi om Jim, som har OCD, bor i sin bil og er afrydder i cafeen i det lokale supermarked. Sådan har han levet siden lukningen af det psykiatriske opholdsted, han ellers boede på, men hans liv er ved at ændre sig til det bedre, for han har mødt en kvinde, som ser ud til at forstå og holde af ham. De to skæbner fortælles langsomt ind i hinanden, og bogen handler om at være alt andet end perfekt. Rachel Joyce beskriver sine personer med alle deres fejl og mangler med stor ømhed og empati.
