More about the book!

In this singular and imaginative story collection, Cecelia Ahern illuminates the myriad ways in which women overcome adversity with wit, resourcefulness and compassion.
Have you ever imagined a different life?
Have you ever stood at a crossroads, undecided … Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to roar?
From this much-loved, international bestselling author come stories for all of us: the women who befriend us, the women who encourage us, the women who make us brave.
From The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared to The Woman Who Returned and Exchanged her Husband, discover 30 touching, often hilarious, stories and meet 30 very different women. Each discovers her strength; each realises she holds the power to make a change.
Witty, tender, surprising, these keenly observed tales speak to us all, and capture the moment when we all want to roar.
‘These stories sing and cry and shout and whisper from the page. They’re sharp, clever, witty … a joy to read.’
– Donal Ryan, international bestselling author of The Spinning Heart
