AFTER YOU: LETTERS OF LOVE, AND LOSS, TO A HUSBAND AND FATHER
Book ID/图书代码： 04300010B37686
English Summary/英文概要： Natascha McElhone, star of The Truman Show and Californication, was filming in LA, seven months pregnant with her third child with her other two young children playing in the gym across the road when she got a call from a friend that would change her life forever. Her husband, Martin, the love of her life and father to her delightful children and an apparently healthy man in his early 40s had died suddenly of a heart attack. In the weeks and months that followed the devastating shock Natascha continued to write her diary and letters to Martin (something she had always done as, due to her work, she was used to being far from home). They were letters of love, letters about their gorgeous boys, letters about the birth of the new baby and diary entries detailing the mundane and heartbreaking details of her new life: house repairs and terrifying family finances; trying to keep the children’s lives as normal as possible in the face of such abnormal new circumstances.
The result is a powerful, honest and moving story of a magical love affair and all-consuming grief, of being a mother alone and trying to live for the future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 許多人對她並不陌生，娜塔莎·麥克艾霍恩，她憑藉在影片《加州靡情》(Californication)以及《楚門的世界》(The Truman Show)裏的精彩演出虜獲了無數觀眾的心。
懷有7個月身孕的娜塔莎正在洛杉磯拍攝，她的兩個年幼的孩子在健身房裡玩耍，隨後她接到一個電話，一個徹底改變她一生的噩耗。
電話是她的朋友打來的，娜塔莎被告知，她的丈夫，孩子們的父親，她此生的摯愛，那個40歲仍健康活力的男人，因為一場突如其來的心臟病，永遠離開了他們。
這一切對娜塔莎來說無疑是晴天霹靂，在接下來的數個令人心碎的日子裡，她仍然每天寫日記，並堅持著給丈夫馬丁寫信的習慣。這些信建無一不充滿了濃濃的愛意，娜塔莎在信裡向馬丁訴說著點點滴滴，訴說他們兩個調皮的男孩、訴說第三個孩子的出生；而她在日記中則記錄了在經歷這場浩劫之後她所承受的一切：撇開經濟上的困難，她設法讓孩子們在一個健康的環境中成長。
這是一個感人、悲傷的故事，講述了一個女子不可思議的愛，以及在獨自面對未來時所承受的悲痛與辛酸。(Ruby & Vincent)
Awards/获奖情况：索德伯格對她評價甚高："她讓我想起了60、70年代法國那些極其優秀的女演員，比如讓娜·莫羅，和多明尼克·桑德。她們是機智、性感、複雜的女人，不是姑娘，而是女人。

"To publish an account of her widowhood when it is still so raw might seem almost impossible. But McElhone, as her readers swiftly realise, is brave and generous... Written with remarkable wisdom, grace and courage, it is a portrait of a woman fighting to reconcile death with life, and managing to do exactly that."---Daily Mail (她以非凡的勇氣、智慧為讀者講述了一個女子在失去摯愛後所擁有的堅強。)
