Today I am really excited to be taking part in the blog tour for Cecelia Ahern's must anticipated new release, Roar.
I am woman. Hear me roar.
A story for every woman: original, honest and thought-provoking, ROAR is Cecelia Ahern’s unforgettable story collection.
‘These stories sing and cry and shout and whisper from the page. They're sharp, clever, witty, and full of love, a joy to read’ – Donal Ryan
‘These provocative and witty stories prove it’s time to recognise Cecelia Ahern as one of our finest writers’ – John Boyne
With her trademark honesty, Cecelia Ahern gives us 30 stories about 30 women, all titled ‘The Woman Who…’, that capture the different facets of women’s lives.
Humorous, moving, surreal and poignant, the stories capture the moments the characters are overwhelmed by guilt, confusion, frustration, intimidation, exhaustion – private moments when they feel the need to roar.
From The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared to The Woman Who Returned and Exchanged Her Husband, discover an extraordinary collection that will resonate with women everywhere.
Each story showcases the originality of Ahern’s talent and the versatility of her voice.
Cecelia Ahern has written a fantastic set of 30 individual stories, all of which have a strong female character, who are facing thoughts, feelings, worries, situations that are relevant to the 21st century modern woman.
Roar is one of those books that you can pick up and select a story at random, with the knowledge that Cecelia is going to give you a story that you will enjoy, will be thought provoking and stay with you for the rest of the day.
Each story has taken on a theme that could face any girl or woman in today's modern world. There are many hard hitting topics covered in these 30 stories including self confidence, fertility, growing old, self doubt to name but a few. There really is something for any situation that a modern woman may face during her life - I can certainly relate to a number of the characters and I really enjoyed reading the stories and remembering times in my life, while others have, I hope, prepared me for situations or feelings that I might encounter and has given me a toolbox ready to face many different situations.
Thank you to Harper Collins for inviting me to take part in this blog and for sending me a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

The book would make a great gift for any woman at any time in their life. It really is like a mini toolbox of good advice to give to a daughter or friend who is coming of age, leaving home, starting a new life elsewhere etc. I will be giving my daughter a copy for her to enjoy and hopefully for her to prepare for the big wide world.
