The book is an easy read, and it captures you that you do not want to put it down. The story is based in Ireland, where the winters can be gloomy but the summers are a breath of fresh air.
It is the story of a young woman, Holly, who is barely 30 but already a widow. As she tries to make sense of her personal tragedy, she receives a box of letters that her husband had written for her, before his death. Gerry and Holly had been high school sweethearts and were perfect for each other; unfortunately 'until death do us part' came too soon for them. Gerry died of a brain tumor, leaving Holly in a spiral of depression, where she only gets up to answer the phone. One day, her mother calls telling her that there is a box that Gerry had left for her.
10 letters, he left her, one for each month until the end of the year, and all signed "PS I love you". Each letter it gives her instruction for that month, is it buying a lamp to going to Karaoke.
The letters give Holly the strength to live her life by giving her something to look forward to each month. With the help of her friends, Denise and Sharon, and family, which help her, grieve. As the months go by she becomes closer to some of her siblings which in past wasn't so social with and discovers their softer side and pain as well.
as you continue reading it, you find yourself laughing and crying all at once.
The book definitely moved me.Cecelia is certainly the mistress of magic!
