	Right from the start, the voice of Aganetha Smart, a one-time Olympic runner, now aged 104 and living in a home, grabs you. And it doesn't let go until the very last page of this original and moving story. At time, it has something of the quirky charm of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, though the setting – rural Canada – couldn't be more different…the extraordinary backstory of this frail, old lady keeps you engrossed
