What a beautiful book, a universal tale of grief, something we will all encounter at some point in our lives. I didn’t read PS I love you, but I still remember the impact it had on me as I left the cinema. Here we hear again from Holly, on the cusp of moving on, but reminded again of Gerry by new circumstances. Ciara, Holly’s sister persuades her to recount her story, to talk about Gerry’s letters on a podcast, this changes everything. People are looking to Holly as a beacon of knowledge and hope they will provide her with advice on how they can leave their own letters to loved ones they are leaving behind.

This is a tearjerker of a book, profoundly human, somehow escapist as we delve into the lives of others and their troubles we some how escape our own. Ahern has quietly and carefully observed life and finds a way to weave a tale of hope from the most trying of circumstances. I couldn’t put this down.
