Plot Summary
Holly and her Irish husband, Gerry, live in Manhattan. They fight passionately, and are deeply in love. When Gerry dies of a brain tumor after ten years together, grief causes Holly to withdraw from her family and friends. On Holly’s birthday, a cake is delivered along with a cassette that holds a recording from Gerry – the first of several meaningful messages he had arranged to have delivered to her after his death, and all ending with “P.S. I Love You”. Holly’s mother, Patricia, who never warmed to Gerry marrying her daughter, worries that the messages will keep Holly tied to the past.Â
The occasional messages encourage Holly to continue living. Meanwhile, he has arranged for Holly to travel to his childhood homeland with her two best friends, Denise and Sharon. At a holiday cottage in the Irish countryside, they find letters addressed to each of them; one asks Denise to take Holly to Gerry’s favorite pub. While there, Holly meets William, a singer who strongly reminds her of Gerry. He dedicates a song, “Galway Girl”, to her; upon hearing it, she is overcome with emotion and walks out, as it was the song Gerry sang to her when they first met. While out fishing on the lake, the women lose their boat’s oars, leaving them stranded.Â
As they wait for help, Sharon announces that she is pregnant and Denise reveals she is getting married. Their news causes Holly to relapse emotionally and begin to withdraw again. They are eventually rescued by William, whom Sharon and Denise invite to stay the night because of the rain. Unable to deny their attraction to each other, William and Holly have sex. They later have a conversation about Gerry, and when she mentions she wants to go visit his parents, he realizes she is the widow of his childhood friend.
