5.13.2019 - Roar

Roar

Thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing, and Cecelia Ahern.  I'm a big fan of Ahern's novels - this one is very different but quite thought-provoking.

This book is a series of 30 small chapters - each one about women in various normal roles that Ahern turns into a magical story.  Each one features "the woman" - unnamed so that you can possibly picture yourself or someone you know in the role.  These stories make you think - there is The Woman Who Returned and Exchanged Her Husband.  Who couldn't relate to being frustrated by all those quirks and habits that our partner has?  If you had the opportunity, would you exchange your husband for one more suited to you?  And what happens afterwards?  Or the woman who disappears to everyone after a certain age.  Just a few examples - very creative and gives you lots to ponder!
