|title=The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy
|author=Rachel Joyce
|rating=4
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Rachel Joyce envisions ''The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy'' not as a prequel or sequel to [[The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce|The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry]] but as a companion volume. Giving Queenie's side of the story through an extended letter she is writing to Harold from St Bernadine's hospice as she awaits his arrival, Joyce gives readers a new perspective on her character's unrequited love for Harold, a surprising friendship she kept up with his son David until his suicide, and her sudden move from Devon to Northumbria, where she lived in a quaint beachside cottage and maintained her sea garden until she became ill with cancer.
