Book review: P.S.I LOVE YOU-Cecilia Ahern.

By Nida Siddiqui

Holly is a young Irish woman who has just lost her husband. She struggles through the roller coaster of life. She struggles each morning to get herself up and to move on with her life. Everything around her reminds her of her beloved husband. She cuts herself away from any worldly contact, till she receives a call from her mother, saying that she has a package for Holly. She collects the package and realizes that it contained letters from her late husband that he wrote before his demise.

The package contained 10 letters with the instructions of how and what she was supposed to do in his absence. She was only permitted to open each letter on the 1^st of every month. Cecilia Ahern, in her novel P.S, I love you, has beautifully written the feelings and emotions connected with every letter and how Holly takes the advice and moves on with her life. She regains herself, learns to live, finds a job, reconnects with her family and by the end of the series of the letters, finally struggles to keep herself getting indulged in a new romance.

In the end of each letter is the inscription by Garry (Holly’s husband): “P.S. I LOVE YOU”. Her husband wants her to be an independent lover of life. He wouldn't be disappointed if she went on to be happy without him.
