Cousins

1994: Young Will Tye has suffered an appalling accident. The terrible event ripples through three generations of the complex and eccentric Tye family and leads to the revelation of dark long-held secrets. Each family member holds some clue to the chain of events that may have led to the accident, and each holds themselves to blame. Most deeply affected is Will’s cousin Cecelia, whose affinity with Will leaves her most vulnerable to his suffering, and whose own life is forever changed by how she will respond to it. Told through the eyes of three women close to Will – his sister, his grandmother and his aunt – and spanning from the outbreak of the Second World War to the present day, this is a story of selfishness, wrong choices, life, death, and ultimately love.

Lyrebird

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…

But a single encounter leads her to ask the question she’s been avoiding for so long: who are the people who made her the way she is? And who are the five people who can shape and determine her future? Just as she once joined the freckles on her skin to mirror the constellations in the night sky, she must now again look for connections.
