你在天堂里遇见的五个人(The Five People You Meet in Heaven)简介：

Part melodrama and part parable, Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven weaves together three stories, all told about the same man: 83-year-old Eddie, the head maintenance person at Ruby Point Amusement Park. As the novel opens, readers are told that Eddie, unsuspecting, is only minutes away from death as he goes about his typical business at the park. Albom then traces Eddie's world through his tragic final moments, his funeral, and the ensuing days as friends clean out his apartment and adjust to life without him. In alternating sections, Albom flashes back to Eddie's birthdays, telling his life story as a kind of progress report over candles and cake each year. And in the third and last thread of the novel, Albom follows Eddie into heaven where the maintenance man sequentially encounters five pivotal figures from his life (a la A Christmas Carol). Each person has been waiting for him in heaven, and, as Albom reveals, each life (and death) was woven into Eddie's own in ways he never suspected. Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie understands the meaning of his own life even as his arrival brings closure to theirs.

Albom takes a big risk with the novel; such a story can easily veer into the saccharine and preachy, and this one does in moments. But, for the most part, Albom's telling remains poignant and is occasionally profound. Even with its flaws, The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a small, pure, and simple book that will find good company on a shelf next to It's A Wonderful Life.

　　有些故事注定要从结局讲起的——其实，所有的结尾又何尝不是开端呢？ 《相约星期二》随着莫里的阖然长逝而告终。六年后，在米奇·阿尔博姆的全新力作中，纪实换成了虚构；死亡从结局演变成了开端；主角还是一位老人——不是洞明世事的教授，而是到死都对自己的一生心存惶惑的退伍老兵，游乐场维修工。
　　他叫爱迪，八十三岁生日那天，为了拯救在突发事故中身处险境的女孩而殒命游乐场。醒来时，爱迪已身处天堂，这才发现：那里并不是牧歌萦绕的伊甸园，而是地球上生活片断的交叠重现。五个被爱迪或铭记或忽略或遗忘的人，轮流登场，引领他寻找逝去的时光，追问人生的谜底。无形间，天地间仿佛有一条巨大的锁链，爱迪只是其中的一环。
　　《你在天堂里遇见的五个人》让每一个读完这本书的人都成了锁链中的一环，分享着同一个秘密：天堂里，会有五个人，为了五段不同的记忆，等候你长大、相爱、衰老、死亡，等待着解答你最后的疑问。因为，我们每一个人都会影响到另一个人，世界上各式各样的故事，说到底都是同一个。
