I’m not interested in writing the same novel twice. I’m drawn to writing about challenging, transitional moments in people’s lives, and that theme never changes, but how I go about telling the story changes so very much I’m sure it sends my publishers’ heads in a spin. I’m often too quirky to be commercial and too commercial to be literary and while I’m comfortable with not fitting in, it’s never easy when it comes to knowing where to put me on a shelf. What projects are you working on? Wie kann man ein Leben meistern, wenn Ablenkung ein fester Bestandteil im Alltag ist? Wie kann man sich angstfrei in einer Gesellschaft bewegen, wenn man zum Beispiel auf einem Kinderspielplatz die dunkelsten Absichten mancher Menschen s I admit it's not a light, jolly tale but the veins of hope that run through it as the story progresses makes it such a beautiful and unique read. A gorgeous cover, alas the book did not live up to it. This was pretty poor and one for diehard Cecelia Ahern fans only. Der neueste Roman von Cecilia Ahern ist kein Wohlfühlbuch. Und trotzdem war ich ziemlich gefesselt von Alice' Geschichte. An mehreren Stellen hab ich mitgelitten mit ihr - schlussendlich aber hat Alice ihr Leben ziemlich gut gemeistert. Ein tapferes Mädchen und eine starke Frau. Und jeder neue Abschnitt in ihrem Leben hat sich dann ja auch meistens als Verbesserung herausgestellt.

Cecelia writing style is beyond phenomenal she's so quirky in the ways that she tells her stories and I really love that about her. First off this is a story about Alice and her life of seeing people’s aura’s good and bad, now the story it’s self was ok but it was a bit jumpy for my liking one minute she was at her brothers house the next she was in a pub looking for her Dad. That is the one thing I really didn’t like about this book the jumping about with no warning it was very hard to keep up with. The neighbour that helped her was one minute she didn’t like them the next they were best friends. The job she had one minute she had a normal job the next she was applying and got the job that one of her co workers wanted. As someone who lives in Swindon I was very disappointed that they called it the Swindon Theatre it’s called the Wyvern not Swindon Theatre. That just proves she did not do any research in to this book at all. There was also a bit in the book where she went to Ireland to visit her mum the next sentence her mum was living with her. I was immediately drawn to Alice, and I would do anything to protect her. I felt empathy for her in dealing with the gift, and I can’t imagine what it must be like not only to know everyone's feelings, but you could be affected by those feelings too 🥺Iceland. It’s one of my favourite countries to visit. When I was there for the first time I felt the landscape was so different to anything I’d ever experienced before that I had the feeling this is what it must be like to be on another planet.

I have had a life-long relationship with colours. Enduring them, accepting them, surrendering to them.”

Customer reviews

In a Thousand Different Ways tells us the story of Alice Kelly who has the gift (even though it doesn't seem that way at times) of being able to see how people around her feel. How wonderful you think. But when you do think about it, it really must be exhausting. Not only does Alice see how people feel but she sees how others soak up others' feelings. I did an author event in the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia. I toured the house where she wrote Gone with the Wind. What is the best writing advice you have heard? Once again from the very first chapter, as so often happens in Ahern’s books, you are drawn in from the very start, wanting to know more. The concept of seeing colours to represent emotions is genius, to have the main character be able to see and absorb these feelings and how this insight into others might not be a ‘gift’ is just captivating. On several occasions through the book you could relate to how you really don’t know what is going on with others around you, life seemingly perfect on the outside but possibly something that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Over the years, and with the help of certain people, she begins to learn how to live with this 'gift', as it is described to her, but not without many battles. Her older brother Hugh tries to protect Alice and their younger brother Ollie from their volatile mother but leaves as soon as he’s able, which coincides with Alice being sent away to a school for troublesome children. In reality it’s a lifesaver for her and for the first time she’s accepted despite her idiosyncrasies. Cecelia has a rare talent. One that has the ability to draw the reader in without them really knowing it. There isn't a plot as such, it is a story of Alice’s life, but you can't help but be drawn to her and knowing you can't give her a hug (it's too much for her to cope with) I felt protective of her. Anyone having had a toxic parent will sympathise and understand her conflict let alone with the confusion and disruption of colours as she was growing up. A wonderful, poignant at times, emotive story and one that left me with a tear. To quote Oscar Wilde “ Mere colour, unspoiled by meaning and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways”. Stunning Wie kann man ein Leben meistern, wenn Ablenkung ein fester Bestandteil im Alltag ist? Wie kann man sich angstfrei in einer Gesellschaft bewegen, wenn man zum Beispiel auf einem Kinderspielplatz die dunkelsten Absichten mancher Menschen sieht und spürt? Und was passiert, wenn jemand mit Synästhesie auf jemanden trifft, der keinerlei Farbe widerspiegelt?A stunning, wonderful, powerful tale: Alice lives with her mother and two brothers, one older and one younger. Alice has synaesthesia (to see or feel in colours)only this isn't recognised until she is older and sadly she is seen as being different and a trouble maker. She sees the anger in her mother and the calm in her older brother. Imagine being able to see and hence make a judgement of someone by the colour surrounding them. When there is a crowd you are overwhelmed, when seeing strangers you can make a call. When Hugo, her older brother, goes to university and her younger brother is on the wrong side of the law it is left to Alice to look after her mother as she is now in a wheelchair. Thanks so much for reading my review, I look forward to reading any comments. Feel free to browse my books read for your next great read. The Story over all I felt had quite a bit of magical realism in bit of magical realism in it which really drawn me into the story itself, If your a fan of T.J klune then I think you will live this . In a Thousand Different Ways by Cecelia Ahern was published in Australia by Harper Collins and is now available.

In a Thousand Different Ways: the gripping, unforgettable new

However, this is a really good book. It's very easy reading. Good story, some lovely touches, very human. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I wept quite a lot on and off all the way through and it observes human nature very well. There's some really funny bits in it too. The one thing I'm delighted by (and I have not read a Cecilia Ahern for many years) is that her writing has really matured and I don't get the sense she's trying to be Marian Keyes any longer. (I love Marian but there really is only one of her). Sarah Gilmartin: ‘A lot more needs to be done to make the reporting of sexual crimes easier for victims’ ] I’ve read that you’re not comfortable speaking in public. What does writing mean to you?But it took me a while to get Cecelia Ahern´s sophisticated story. First, I was thinking "what on earth is she talking about?" It wasn´t till I was 50-60% through the novel when it hit me! Then I was obsessed with this specific characteristic and was eager to find out how Alice will OWN her LIFE. Cecelia Ahern: ‘I don’t have small worries, I have big worries. Like the end of the world’ ] How challenging was it to write about mental illness and abuse? The book itself is just stunning. It is so special and unique and unlike anything I have read before. Alice, our central character absolutely pops from the first moment we meet her. Following her incredible life journey was amazing. I felt like I knew Alice and was in her world in every way. All the characters are very well written and so distinct from each other. Some to love, some to dislike but each one is clearly defined and important to the overall story.
