Book Description:
From the author of the phenomenal number one bestseller TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, comes this enchanting, beautifully written novel that explores a mystery only heaven can unfold. Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in the toil of his father before him, fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. Then he dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life. Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer is as magical and inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

Review by Eva 
My mother-in-law, Margaret, gave me this book to read and described it as 'amazing', 'life altering' and 'unbelievable'. The pressure! Would I enjoy it just as much? Would I find what Margaret had found in it?!

Every person who reads this book will have their own words to describe how they feel about Mitch Albom's courageous effort in tackling a pertinent question most of us have thought about – the very meaning of our existence on Earth. In five chapters, we are taken through Eddie's journey, where we learn that every human interaction we have and each action we take (and don't take) ripples through the lives of others.

Very few books have the potential to change the way we view the world, but after reading Five People, you will never think of your postman, the love of your life, the sad child you give a cheeky smile to, or the person who sells you this book the same way again...
