ps,i love you

Grief opens the novel, but Cecelia Ahern spends most of P.S. I Love You on what comes afterwards. A young widow is left with a set of messages from her husband, each one nudging her towards something she would not have attempted alone. The book moves between sadness and comedy without letting either take over, and the friendships and family around her carry as much weight as the romance. Its real subject is recovery and the slow return of appetite for ordinary life. Why readers return to it: • A debut novel that became an international bestseller • Loss handled alongside humour and friendship • A structure built around messages left behind • Contemporary fiction in English by Cecelia Ahern Aimed at readers of emotional contemporary fiction and at book clubs, available from Boipoka.
