內容簡介:
From the author of the number one "New York Times "bestseller
"Tuesdays with Morrie "comes this long-awaited follow-up. Eddie is
a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an
uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement
park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries
to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the
afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It s a
place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of
whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from
childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie s five people revisit their
connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his
meaningless life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the
eternal question: Why was I here? A moving and profound
contemporary fable, The Five People You Meet in Heaven is an
important reminder of the interconnectedness of us all. "From the
Hardcover edition."
