SONG OF THE BELLBIRDS

From the steps of the Sydney Opera House came international acclaim...but at a price.

All young Lizzie Foster wants to do is sing, ride the boundaries of her family’s Queensland property and dream of one day performing on stage. But when a freak storm hits the area, wreaking havoc, she swears never to sing another note.  Others, however, are not quite so willing to let her remarkable talent go to waste.  But it is Lizzy alone who will ultimately decide if the price she must pay to sing is too high.

From the vast wheatfields of Queensland to the plush opera houses and concert halls of Europe and America, Anne McCullagh Rennie takes the reader backstage in the exciting world of opera, where love and tragedy are nightly performances.
