In Into The Storm Cecelia Ahern returns to the inspiration that has brought us her most beloved stories - the surreal. Constantly pushing the boundaries of reality, Ahern shows why she’s a fiction powerhouse. Into The Storm begins when GP Enya finds herself giving a teenage boy CPR after finding him on a mountain road near Dublin, the victim of an apparent hit-and-run.The boy survives, but Enya goes to pieces. She leaves her family and everything she knows to start a new life in rural Ireland. But even still, Enya is haunted by that night. Can the stories of strangers and a land steeped in legend lay the ghosts of her past to rest? Or will the storm she's outrunning finally catch up with her? Cecelia Ahern wrote her first novel at 21 years old and has published a novel every year since then. To date, Ahern’s books have sold 25 million copies internationally and are published in over 40 countries, in 30 languages with two adapted by the author for the silver screen. In addition Cecelia’s highly acclaimed collection of short stories, Roar is now in development for Apple TV+ with Nicole Kidman and she has written her second TV series - currently in development with Picturestart, and a feature film sequel to PS I Love You titled Postscript. Join Cecelia Ahern in conversation at The Dingle Literary Festival to learn more about her work and her inspiration.
