Book Description:
Cecelia Ahern's debut novel, PS, I Love You, follows the engaging, witty, and occasionally sappy reawakening of Holly, a young Irish widow who must put her life back together after she loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumor. Ahern, the twentysomething daughter of Ireland's prime minister, has discovered a clever and original twist to the Moving On After Death concept made famous by novelists and screenwriters alike--Gerry has left Holly a series of letters designed to help her face the year ahead and carry on with her life.

男人味兒十足的愛爾蘭人蓋瑞率直、魯莽、暴躁卻又不失幽默感。但當(dāng)他面對心愛的女人霍莉時卻溫柔百倍。兩人婚后的生活雖波瀾時起,卻也幸福甜蜜。但,好景不長。外表健康強(qiáng)壯的蓋瑞不幸患上了嚴(yán)重的疾病,不久,便辭世而去。
悲痛欲絕的霍莉深深地陷入失去摯愛的痛苦之中,久病不愈,整日將自己關(guān)在家中追思亡夫?;衾虻呐笥焉屎偷つ崴箤糜训臓顟B(tài)頗為擔(dān)憂,想盡一切辦法為霍莉排解苦楚。在思念的煎熬中,霍莉迎來了自己30歲的生日,在親人朋友的勸慰聲中,霍莉收到了一份意外的生日禮物——亡夫蓋瑞生前曾精心為愛人準(zhǔn)備的生日祝福錄音帶。在錄音帶中,霍莉聽到了充滿無限愛意且久違的聲音。蓋瑞簡單的幾句祝福猶如一劑強(qiáng)心針,使得霍莉殘破不堪的生活瞬間有了轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)。
