Five People You Meet in Heaven (mitch Albom)
About This Novel
Some stories are destined to start from the ending - in fact, are all endings not just beginnings? "Tuesday Date" ends with Morrie's sudden death. Six years later, in Mitch Albom's new masterpiece, documentary has been replaced by fiction; death has evolved from the ending to the beginning; the protagonist is still an old man - not a professor who knows the world, but a veteran and amusement park maintenance worker who is confused about his life until his death. His name was Eddie. On his eighty-third birthday, he died in a playground to save a girl who was in danger in an accident. When Eddie woke up, he was already in heaven, and then he realized that it was not the Garden of Eden where pastoral songs lingered, but the overlapping reappearance of fragments of life on earth. Five people who are either remembered, ignored or forgotten by Eddie take turns to appear, leading him to search for the lost time and ask for the answer to the mystery of life. Invisibly, there seems to be a huge chain between heaven and earth, and Eddie is just a link in it. "Five People You Meet in Heaven" makes everyone who reads this book become a link in the chain, sharing the same secret: in heaven, there will be five people, waiting for you to grow up, fall in love, age, die, and answer your last questions for five different memories. Because each of us affects another person, and the various stories in the world are all the same in the final analysis.
