Cecilia Ahern on THE IMDb Cecilia Ahern's Official Website, written in the night - fansite extracted from the Go to the content of Cecilia Ahern, author of PS, I Love You, is set to publish a sequel to her bestselling romantic drama with Grand Central Publishing, EW can exclusively announce. The book is called Postscript, and it will hit shelves in the UK this fall before bowing out in the US in April 2020. The story of Holly, a widow who discovers new correspondence from her late husband, PS, I Love You marked Ahern's debut in 2004, and it became a worldwide bestseller and was adapted into a commercially successful film starring Hilary Swank. The Dublin-born author has become a literary powerhouse ever since: in combination, its titles have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide in nearly 50 countries. Here's a quick overview for the postscript: When Holly Kennedy approached a group calling herself PS, I Love You Club, its safe existence turned upside down. Inspired by hearing about her late husband Jerry's letters, the club wants Holly to help them with their own leaked messages for their loved ones to discover after they're gone. Holly is sure of one thing - nothing can be, she dragged back to the grief she left behind. It took seven years to reinvent herself and she is ready to move on with her life. But Holly realizes that when you love someone, there's always one more thing to say... It's been fifteen years since I wrote my debut novel, and I've enjoyed the challenge of revisiting Holly's world seven years after her husband's death, Ahern said in a statement. A deeply emotional project for me, Postscript is PS for my PS and while it's a sequel, it's also a story that stands alone about living a purposeful life in the face of illness, grief and loss. I hope that new readers and PS, I love you fans, so will cover holly's new journey. But American fans of Ahern, who is also co-founder of Christina Applegate's Emmy Award-winning Samantha Who?, won't have to wait until next year for new material. Next month, the author will publish Roar, a collection of short stories containing 30 short stories about the countless ways women can overcome adversity with wit, resourcefulness and compassion. Ahern shared an excerpt from the book exclusively with EW and you can read it below. The book is published on April 16 and is available for pre-order. The Woman Who Grew Wings Doctor Said It's hormonal. Like the random hair that sprouted from her chin after birth her children, over time the bones of her back began to protrude from her skin, extending from her spine like a branch of a tree. She decided not to go for an X- ray her doctor suggested and she didn't climb his bone density and osteoporosis warnings. It's not the weakening she feels in her body, it's the growing force spreading from her spine and arching over her shoulders. In the privacy of her own home, her husband traces a line of her bones on her back, and when she's alone, she strips naked and stands in front of a mirror to examine her changing body. Sideways she sees a shape that appears under the flesh on her shoulders. When she goes outside, she is grateful for the hijab, which falls freely over her shoulders, hiding this mysterious growth. She would feel scared of these changes in her body if it weren't for the huge strength of the swelling in her. She hasn't been to this country long, and other mothers at school look at her, even though they pretend otherwise.
