Hey friends,this is my first attempt at reviewing .This is a book which really touched my heart. And I am sure you must have heard about it. Wondering if it's your type or not.
Cecilia Ahern shot to fame with her much acclaimed novel 'P.S I Love you' , I Think her fame and popularity is well deserved. Many many words can be used to describe the book but the one which comes to my mind is touching and heart warming.
Holly's journey from a heart broken widow, living on widow's pension, to a successful professional is beautiful. Gerry's letters to his wife symbolize & glorify that love is immortal & that is not affected by death. Gerry might be dead but he comes back alive to her through his letters.The letters teach her to laugh again, love again & also to learn to live once again.
I am sure that we have all lost loved ones at some point of our life.Even though the book has a tragedy in the backdrop, it doesn't drop into a complete tragic style.It is not a story of heart break rather I would like to think of it as a story of friendship,love and of course surviving. It also has comic elements which will make you laugh a lot.Holly's fortieth birthday bash is a fine example of this.
The books also shows the power of friendship.The kind of friendship that helps us to walk through even the strongest thorns.
As you may already know this book has already been made into a film of the same name.The movie was a hit.
This book might not be in the same league as the classics. But it is a very heart touching tale . And for an author's first novel it's pretty amazing. I would suggest to give his book a try. I believe it won't be a waste of time.
And here is the link to my friends review blog. This is my thanks to her for pushing me into blogging.
