Meet Aisling. She's a small-town girl with a big heart.

She has a steady job and a loyal boyfriend (though he hasn't put a ring on it even after seven years).

Then one disastrous romantic getaway convinces Aisling to leave him behind and head for the bright lights.

But with glamorous new flatmates, a scandal at work and a weird love square, Aisling has no idea what's about to hit her . . .

This hilarious Irish bestseller, which came to life via a viral Facebook page, follows country girl Aisling as she moves from her hometown to big city living in Dublin. She's sweet, a little clueless but a force to be reckoned with

A loving ode to a certain type of Irish woman that's hilarious, comforting and warm. A hot water bottle of a book, if you will

—— The Daily Edge

Sweet, charming, funny and poignant

—— The Journal

Every Irish person knows an Aisling, and there is nothing more delightful than recognising something familiar being projected back at you through a novel. While the books are both extremely funny, they also reflect a period in Irish culture and centre around a heartwarming story for Aisilings of the ages

Gentle, moving, joyous

—— Guardian

A love-letter to letters and a brilliantly written, moving homage to the power of words, The Lost Letters of William Woolf celebrates the magic of pen and paper'

—— Nina George, New York Times bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

The Lost Letters of William Woolf is a beautiful novel, more so because at times it feels like a book out of time, capitalising on the nostalgia of a time before smartphones, emails and Google. It is a remarkably refreshing read and certainly an interesting one - and it's a debut work that marks Helen Cullen as an author worth watching
