About this ebook

‘An emotional love story with great heart’ Sunday Express

The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller

In the south-west of Ireland, rugged mountains meet bright blue lakes and thick forests. Deep in the woods, a young woman lives alone, forever secluded from the world, her life a well-kept secret. She possesses an extraordinary talent, the likes of which no-one has seen before: a gift that will earn her the nickname Lyrebird.

When Solomon stumbles into Laura’s solitary existence, her life is turned on its head. Pulled from her peaceful landscape to the cacophony of Dublin, she is confronted by a world desperate to understand her.

But while Solomon knows the world will embrace Laura, will it free her to spread her wings – or will it trap her in a gilded cage? Like all wild birds, she needs to fly free...

Lyrebird is a thoughtful, deeply moving love story; a story of the wild heart in us all and the quiet that lies underneath the world’s noise.

Ratings and reviews

I love all Cecelia's work and this is no different. A wonderful story that will draw you in. Modern day themes that all can relate to as well as the romance of olden times that we doing on too.

Not a bad read by any means but not as amazing as some of Cecilias others. I liked the main characters and the plotlines but it didnt grab me.

I am halfway through it and its utterly beautiful and magical, easily one of the best books I've read
