Narration In Favor Of Books Lyrebird
Life is in two parts: who you were before you met her and who you are after.Down in the south west of Ireland, rugged mountains meet bright blue lakes and thick forests. Deep in the woods, surrounded by farmland, a young woman lives alone in a small stone cottage.
Then, into her peaceful landscape comes a documentary crew. Solomon’s skill is sound. He records, he listens, he hears. And when he meets Laura, he discovers that she has an extraordinary talent: an ability to mimic sounds. It’s a gift that earns her the nickname Lyrebird.
From that point, Laura’s life is turned on its head. When the documentary crew offers her a way forward, a bridge to another kind of life, she takes it. But while Solomon knows the world will love 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.

Ok where do I start with this book..150 odd pages in and I was bored senseless,it was a challenge to even pick up the book and continue reading. It wasn't even that it was slow with nothing really happening but the plot was just boring. A woman found on a mountain who can mimic any sound and so this film crew want to do a documentary on her.My biggest problem from the start was that I just didn't like any of the characters though I kinda liked Bo,the film producer even if she was a bit selfishThe concept of the story was cool. I'd say I love the book, but there were some elements that didn't really sit well with me. When they discovered the existence of Laura Button, Solomon's first instinct was to protect, but Bo's first thought was to make yet another documentary. A naive and unique 26yo woman with the ability to mimic exactly the sounds that she'd listened to, Bo already had ideas. It's gonna be yet another masterpiece by her, another story to be documented. But once they brought
Bo, Solomon and Rachael they are all driving towards County Cork. Three years ago they had spent time following and filming a couple Tom and Joe Toolin in the Toolin Twins about how eighty year old twins look after the Eire countryside. Since then one of the two had died and Joe was on his own. The three folk wonder how Joe would survive without having someone so totally in tune with each other, they even know when to say nothing. They were going to the funeral to see how they would fare. The
I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher HarperCollins NZ in exchange for an honest review. Before we even jump into the story, can we all just take a second to appreciate how beautiful this cover is? My overflowing bookshelf is glad to have this glorious cover taking up residence on its shelf.What a premise for a book.Laura aka the Lyrebird was such a wonderful character; I fell instantly for her. Living a reclusive life in the mountains, Laura is a mysterious lead from the
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will. ---- Charlotte BrontëCecelia Ahern, the #1 international bestselling author, pens her new contemporary fiction, Lyrebird which reads like a breathy timeless romantic fantasy of music and love and it centers around a young male documentary filmmaker and a lonely exotic and wild girl of the mountains with a rare talent to mimic whatever sound she hears and when these two meet, both of their worlds and lives
How can a place be a home if no one wants you there? Ive always had a weird relationship with Aherns books. Ive never been particularly intrigued by the stories presented in her novels, until The Marble Collector attracted my attention. I loved it, even though I faced certain issues with the construction of the characters and the dialogue. Lyrebird won me over with its beautiful front cover and with the blurb that reminded me of the film Nel with Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson. I thought Id find
I do love Cecelia's stories.. I have been reading her since she started publishing her work.. however I can't connect with this one..I have found recently that Ahern's latest books unlikely her earlier works have been a bit flat.. though have magical twangs to them but unlike some of her more joyous works Lyrebird for me was disappointing, flat and droll.. when was the story going to begin? And why all the daft names? I don't understand why so many people have found a connection with this one
