Summary
I am woman. Hear me roar.
Original, honest and thought-provoking, Roar is Cecelia Ahern's unforgettable story collection.
With her trademark honesty, Cecelia Ahern gives us 30 linked stories, 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 - the 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 listeners everywhere.

Beautifully Crafted
A remarkable collection that all women AND men should listen to. Her usual way of seeing the mundane differently.

lose yourself to find yourself
Fun fiction resonating with strong emotional messages. Though focused on women these sassy snapshots relate to all walks of humanity

Unexpectedly different
For some reason I expected more chick lit style. I was wrong. This is such a clever book. Great stories that make you laugh, think about yourself and more. Cecelia's literal interpretation of idioms and commonly used phrases is so different e.g. the woman who was feather brained having an actual feather in her brain. Pieces on women trying to keep everything going and present as calm and in control are insightful. It actually makes those feelings REAL and I think I will probably reference many to myself when I too have those feelings in the future. Also the narrators are brilliant!

Amazing book and amazing narrative - feminist genius
It’s almost like Cecilia Ahern has crawled into the head of every woman to create this modern feminist gem of a book. There’s a story here for us all and not just one, I struggle to pick a favourite and identify with plenty. A funny moral for today’s world. Read it or listen to it and be moved.

Disappointed with this one
I usually love this author but this book fell seriously short of the mark. Sad because I was desperate for her next book. Never been disappointed by Cecelia Ahern before.
