AUTHOR of PS I Love You Cecelia Ahern will be visiting an Altrincham school next week.

The UK Glamour Women of the Year Award winner will be signing copies of her new book Perfect and talking with pupils at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls next Thursday.

At twenty-one, Cecelia – who is daughter of former Irish president Bertie Ahern – wrote her first novel PS, I Love You, which was sold to forty-seven countries.

The film of the same title starred Hilary Swank, Lisa Kudrow, Kathy Bates, Gerry Butler.

PS, I Love You was one of the biggest-selling debut novels of 2004, reaching number one in Ireland and in the UK Sunday Times bestseller list. It was also a bestseller throughout Europe and the USA, staying on the best-seller list in Germany for 52 weeks.

That same year, in November 2004, her second book Where Rainbows End (as Rosie Dunne hardback in the US, Love, Rosie paperback in US) also reached number one in Ireland and the UK, remaining at the top of the Irish bestsellers list for 12 weeks and again was a bestseller internationally.

Where Rainbows End was adapted for film titled Love, Rosie, starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin.

She has produced several more best-selling novels and will be launching her latest novel for young adults Perfect at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls on Thursday March 30.

Kate Gillibrand, from AGGS, said the school is incredibly lucky to welcome the renowned author.
