Thanks for the memories by Cecelia Ahern

My first book from Cecelia Ahern, the author of the best-selling PS I Love You. Thanks for the memories.



I have to admit. This book is so different from others best-sellers. You have to read it to understand exactly what I mean.

Joyce Conway had lost her baby after falling down from stairs, and lost a lot of blood. When she wakes up in the hospital, she is no longer the old Joyce anymore. She remembers things she shouldn't. She knows about art, all sorts of other skills and knowledge which she did not know of. She also knows about places she never visited. Every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair.

Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He flies to Dublin, Ireland as a guest lecturer on art. He's then persuaded to donate blood. It's his first time, and first thing that come straight from his heart in a long time.

When Joyce leaves the hospital, her life is all different than before. She is no longer the same person. She divorced her husband and moves in to her dad's place. All the while, a strong sense of deja vu os overwhelming her and she cannot figure out why... How can you know someone you've never met?
