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.

此后,在霍莉的生活中,接連以離奇的方式收到蓋瑞的“來(lái)”信,這一來(lái)就是十封。并且在每封信的結(jié)尾處都會(huì)附言:P.S., I Love You. 而每封信到來(lái)的時(shí)機(jī)都堪稱恰到好處,在最關(guān)鍵的時(shí)刻,將霍莉從失去愛(ài)人、生活混亂中一步步解放出來(lái)。與亡夫心靈相通的霍莉也在蓋瑞冥冥中的呵護(hù)下,走向自己的新生活之路……
