And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her. If she can find the courage to open her heart.

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Cecelia Ahern – the international bestselling author of 'PS, I Love You', 'Where Rainbows End', and 'Roar'. We’re thrilled to welcome Cecelia to Penarth Pier Pavilion to discuss her tender and timely new novel 'Paper Heart' – a luminous exploration of isolation, resilience, and the quiet bravery it takes to step back into the world.

Paper Heart:
Pip’s world is small. But it’s about to become a whole lot bigger.

For years she’s tucked away her dreams, shrinking herself into the space left behind – like the delicate origami she creates alone in her room.
Then hope comes from an unlikely place: an astronomer from the local observatory. He teaches her to look up at the stars, and to see a world far bigger and more beautiful than she ever imagined.

And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her. If she can find the courage to open her heart.

Pip never stopped dreaming, but now it’s time for her to live – and maybe even to fall in love.
