It is framed by a prologue and epilogue set fifty years later. Flora is an only child from suburban north London. At Oxford University she reads Arabic and plays Rosaline and Beatrice. Initially lonely, she discovers boys and friendship, but tragedy strikes. A bridge connects us to the living; can it connect us to the dead? The past matters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monica Kendall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800422989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800422988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silverwood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.65d","brand":"Monica Kendall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49165712457983,"sku":"9781800422988","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/make-me-thy-lyre-monica-kendall-9781800422988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
