Roar- Cecelia Ahern- Womens short stories
This is a collection of short stories each about a different type of woman.
Each one is a short read easily enjoyed over a coffee. The first one is about a
disappearing woman due to a genetic issue. Or is it? Cecelia as ever is a wonderful
wordsmith and story teller and each one has its message which may hit a note
with different people. A woman suffering bite marks (think being eaten by something),
another sprouting wings. Most of these are life lessons in a short story
(about 5-10 mins each one). All have meaning some more lighthearted than others.
“The woman who was swallowed up by  the floor and who met lots of other women
down there too” made me smile. There are 30 in the book culminating with
“The woman who roared” hence the title and also from “I am woman, hear me
roar, in numbers too big to ignore”  (Helen Reddy and Ray Burton).
In some way strange, in some ways simplistic. In all ways something to think
about and maybe remember.
