Book Description
This is the story of a man named Charley who loses his job, leaves his family, and decides, one night, to end his life. Somewhere between this world and the next, he encounters his mother, who died years ago, and he spends one last day with her - a day he never had on earth. This 'ordinary' day covers the whole of their existence, and reveals how Charley, like many children, was constantly forced to choose between his mother and his father. He gets the chance many of us yearn for - to ask the questions never asked while our parents are alive. In the end, Charley learns how little he really knew about his mother, how her love saved their family, and how deeply he wants the chance to save his own.
From Publishers Weekly
In this second novel from Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven author Albom, grief-stricken Charles "Chick" Benetto goes into an alcoholic tailspin when his always-attentive mother, Pauline, dies. Framed as an "as told to" story, Chick quickly narrates her funeral; his drink-fueled loss of savings, job ("sales") and family; and his descent into loneliness and isolation. After a suicide attempt, Chick encounters Pauline's ghost. Together, the two revisit Pauline's travails raising her children alone after his father abandons them: she braves the town's disapproval of her divorce and works at a beauty parlor, taking an extra job to put money aside for the children's education. Pauline cringes at the heartache Chick inflicted as a demanding child, obnoxious teen and brusque, oblivious adult chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of a baseball career. Through their story, Albom foregrounds family sanctity, maternal self-sacrifice and the destructive power of personal ambition and male self-involvement. He wields pathos as if it were a Louisville Slugger—shoveling dirt into Pauline's grave, Chick hears her spirit cry out, " 'Oh, Charley. How could you?' "—but Albom often strikes a nerve on his way to the heart. (Sept. 26)
From AudioFile
Charlie's been drunk so often and disappointed his daughter so many times that she doesn't invite him to her wedding. He even fails at his suicide. Or does he? When his deceased mother returns to love him unconditionally for one more day, he's not quite sure what's going on. The author reads his book with a deep, resonant voice that matches the sentimental sermonizing in the story. Albom's narration singsongs as Charlie reflects on his mother's past support, his own failings, and the events of a confusing present in which he relishes his mother's care and sees his own life clearly for the first time.

评分"When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times."
评分作为一个英语残废的人，第一次看英文原著，还是要依靠很多的辅助工具，不过好在现在的辅助工具这么多，所以也总算是踉跄着把书看完了。 没有很复杂的单词，也没有特别难懂的句子，更没有十分让人难以理解的抽象概念，这本书只是简单的用插叙，倒叙的手法，在现实和回忆之中开会...
用户评价
**第五段评价** 我必须承认，这本书的开场段落略显晦涩，需要读者有一定的耐心去适应作者构建的独特语境。然而，一旦你进入了那个语境，便会被其强大的内在逻辑所吸引。这本书的叙事仿佛是一部精心编排的交响乐，各个声部（不同的时间线、不同的叙述者）在不同的乐章中交替出现，最终汇集成一个宏大而和谐的主题。它探讨了记忆的不可靠性，以及我们如何通过重构过去来支撑现在的自我。我特别欣赏作者没有回避人性的幽暗面，那些关于愧疚、遗憾和未竟之事的情感，都被毫不留情地摊开来展示，却又在最后给予了一种近乎救赎的微弱光芒。这是一部需要二刷甚至三刷才能完全领悟其深意的杰作。
评分**第三段评价** 这是一部需要放慢脚步细细品味的文学作品，它拒绝提供简单的答案或快意的结局。作者的文字功底毋庸置疑，他有一种能力，能将最平凡的日常对话，赋予深刻的象征意义。比如某次雨夜的停电，或者某件遗失多年的小物件，在故事中都起到了关键的转折作用。我特别喜欢书中对于“选择的后果”这一主题的探讨，它不是简单的好与坏的对立，而是展示了生活轨迹是如何被那些看似微不足道的岔路口塑造成的。对于那些追求纯粹情节推进的读者来说，这本书可能略显沉闷，但对于热衷于剖析人性幽微之处、喜爱沉浸在细腻情感描写中的人来说，简直是一场盛宴。
评分**第四段评价** 读完这本书，我感到一种复杂的情绪——既有被故事的深度所震撼的敬佩，也有因为故事中人物命运的无常而产生的无力感。这本书的结构极其精巧，每一个章节的结尾都像是一个巧妙的钩子，让你忍不住想立刻翻到下一页，去看看到底会揭示出怎样的真相。然而，真相往往不是一蹴而就的，它像洋葱一样，需要一层层剥开，才能触及到核心的酸楚。作者在处理几组核心人物之间的关系时，展现了惊人的洞察力，他们之间的爱与隔阂交织在一起，真实得让人心痛。这本书绝对不是那种读完就丢到一边的小说，它会像一个老朋友一样，时不时地在你生活的某个瞬间跳出来，让你重新思考某些决定。
评分**第一段评价** 这本书的叙事节奏把握得非常精妙，起初铺陈的情节看似松散，实则暗藏伏笔，如同缓慢展开的一幅古老挂毯，等你耐心去发现那些隐藏在丝线之间的图案。作者对于人物内心的挖掘深入骨髓，那些细微的情绪波动、难以言说的挣扎，都被描摹得栩栩如生。我尤其欣赏作者在描述环境时的笔触，那种带有年代感的街道、弥漫着特定气味的旧书店，都仿佛能让我穿越时空，亲身感受到故事发生的那个世界。小说中对“时间”这一主题的探讨，并非是枯燥的说教，而是融入在角色的每一个选择、每一次呼吸之中，引人深思，让人在读完之后，依然能在脑海中回荡起那些关于失去与重逢的哲学思考。那种淡淡的忧伤，却又蕴含着对生活韧性的赞美，非常高级。
评分**第二段评价** 坦白讲，初读时我差点被那些跳跃的视角搞得有些困惑，但一旦适应了这种非线性的叙事结构，便会发现其中蕴含的巨大张力。作者似乎在用一种近乎诗意的语言，拼凑着一段段破碎的记忆碎片。那些关于家庭关系的复杂性、童年阴影的持久影响，都被处理得极其克制和精准，没有矫揉造作的煽情，全凭细节的堆叠来冲击读者的情感防线。这本书的厉害之处在于，它成功地创造了一种独特的“氛围感”，那种介于现实与梦境之间的模糊地带，让你分不清哪些是真实的经历，哪些是潜意识的投射。我合上书页的时候，感觉自己像是刚做了一个漫长而真实到令人疲惫的梦，需要时间来整理思绪，回味那份独特的文学体验。
