Novelist Cecelia’s popularity
shows no signs of abating
 IRISH literary
heavyweight Cecelia Ahern was in London last week.
The daughter of Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was signing copies of her latest
novel A Place Called Here at Waterstone’s bookshop in Enfield.
The young author was greeted by an appreciative queue of fans eager for
her to sign copies of her novel.
And although Miss Ahern is only 25 years old she is no fledgling writer.
Her latest book is the young Dubliner’s fourth novel to be published
since 2004 and in that time she has sold around 5million books.
Her second novel, PS I Love You, is to be made into a Hollywood film.
Miss Ahern believes the success of her books is down to their universal
theme of hope.
She said: “I write about women on journeys. They are hopeful stories,
so perhaps that’s why they appeal to people of all ages. I am such
a daydreamer, I’m always living in my head and have written since
I was a kid.
“It was lovely to meet so many people in Enfield who enjoy my work.”
Her latest tale blurs the boundaries of the real world with dashes of
magic and is about how things and people get lost, then found.
A Place Called Here, published by Harper Collins, is available in hardback
at local bookshops priced £18.99.
