Cecelia Ahern has penned another bestseller

The sheer number of books being released this autumn is extremely exciting, but there's one at the very top of our reading list.

Cecelia Ahern has long been a staple in the Irish bookish world for years, but her upcoming release may be her best yet.

Her novel Paper Heart is a story about the enduring power of love and how we all fold away our feelings and dreams.

Paper Heart focuses on how it can only take one person to help us see that there is so much more out there for us.

The synopsis reads:

'Pip’s life is a small one, as a single mother still living with her parents and teenage daughter.

'Her tiny acts of rebellion are to escape to a Pilates class or work behind a different counter in the local petrol station. Years ago, she made one mistake – and she’s never found a way to overcome the fallout.

'Until a stranger stands in front of her sandwich counter. Io is visiting the Observatory: a scientist, he’s looking for a signal from a distant star. The two of them strike up an unlikely friendship.

'Slowly, Pip’s world expands – and as she starts to see things differently, she begins to unfold her heart to let others in. And when Jamie, the one person who has always held her heart, returns, Pip begins to sees there could a whole new world for her altogether…'

There's no doubt many Irish readers will resonate with this heartfelt and emotional story by one of our greatest writers.

Paper Heart by Cecelia Ahern will be published on August 28th.
