INTRODUCTION

The novel After You is written by Natascha McElhone who is a British actress. In this novel, the writer mainly talks about the black eighteen months after her husband’s sudden death. At that time, she worked in Los Angeles while her beloved husband died because of a heart attack at home alone. How a bolt from the blue to her and their children! Unable to accept the fact, she began to write letters to her husband to record these days without him how she walked out from the sadness step by step. In this process, from preface to page18 were chosen to be translated.

The selected translation part is mainly a record about what happened when Natascha’s husband's sudden death. However，their friends and family all didn't believe this was really happened and they still imagined that Martin was still on their side. There are also some psychological description and dialogue.

My part is mainly a short summary of the full text and the background of the book which shows the reader an optimistic woman, giving us with encouragement.
