Publisher's Summary
She will change your life forever…
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.

I need more stars!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Lyrebird to be better than the print version?
I would give it 10 stars if I could. This was magical. The story just flowed so beautifully that I couldn't put it down.
What other book might you compare Lyrebird to, and why?
There is no other. The concept was unique.
What about Aoife McMahon’s performance did you like?
Everything about her performance matched the magic of the story. Her beautiful accent was a pleasure to listen to.
Any additional comments?
Now I'm hoping that her other books are as good as I have never read this author.

A very well told narrative.
As with all her stories, a beautifully written story with a little mystery and romance. This is very well read with different voices that contribute to the way the story is told. I really enjoyed this book.

I don't believe this is an Ahern.
Poorly written. I can't believe it's a Cecelia Ahern novel. I've read all of her novels and have never been disappointed until now. The characters were poorly written, inconsistent and unlikable. The storyline was flawed and littered with plot holes.
