Well,
I can't over this novel (i say this after every good novel I read, but this time, I mean it!)
It is titled "P.S. I LOVE YOU" by Cecelia Ahern, and is a very sweet, non-frivolous novel to be going through!!
Frankly speaking, I am much more inclined to reading Enid Blyton, J.K Rowling, Sidney Sheldon, Jeffery Archer, Khalid Hosseni and the likes, and I have mastered the art of running away from the (in)famous -*just in my case* M&B series..
But this book changed my perspective, and romantic always means all-things-sweet-pretty-mushy-cozy seems so so passe!!
Before you go ahead and find out about the book, do stop by for a movement and ponder over this question..
"What do you do when you know you are going to die, leaving behind your love in a mess?..."
This book as about two childhood sweet hearts, Holly and Gerry, who have everything perfect!
A happiness about having found a soul mate at such an early age, a sweet pleasure of growing up with your loved one, getting married at the right time and knowing that it is the best damn thing that you wished would happen to you, and a sense of superiority in knowing the fact it IS the best thing that HAS happened!
but then, things take a turn for the worse..
Gerry realises, at a very late stage, that he has brain tumor, and despite all efforts, he succumbs to death, leaving a devastated, destroyed Holly behind.
Slowly however, Holly begins to realise that she has to move on, though not move over Gerry.
she is much helped by her warm,comforting family, a great pack of friends and most importantly, by Gerry, through his letters...
letters that he has written to her for during his last times, letters that tell her how important it is to keep on living, letters that above all, thank her for the unconditional love she had for him.
each letter is well thought over, and comes in at the right time..
helping Holly through thick and thin.
Slowly, Holly takes the long road to recovery.. when finally at the end of the series of those 10 letters, Gerry tells her to move on..
find new love!
the fact that a dying husband, so much in love with his wife; tells her to move on in his most final movements left me speechless!
ow !!
i was so so moved.
really,
and as Holly rightly discovered,
"Sometimes, it's about living life, one letter at a time".....
