You are a songbird. Your essence is love, yet you don't seem to be able to succeed in living in love. The songbird starts her life the way she had been conditioned by religion and tradition, and she works very hard at being the best she can be. She isn't happy, but she isn't unhappy either. She just knows something is lacking. The day comes when the songbird has no more roles to fulfil. Suddenly she realises that she has lost herself; she has no identity. Then her true journey begins. She reflects on her life, on all the experiences that made her who she is. She tries to make sense of everything, to find the meaning behind her journey. I have written this book so others may find it easier, so others don't have to go through the experiences but may learn from my life.
This book examines the intersection of music and temporality in British literature of the long nineteenth century, arguing the temporal multiplicity of music as the most dynamic way to subvert mimetic bias.

Elizabeth is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. The traumatic effects of this left many emotional scars as well as complex PTSD, in a life often hidden by silence. Throughout different stages of her recovery, Silhouette of a Songbird witnesses Elizabeth's personal struggle on her journey to unlock the pain of reclaiming her voice through the power of poetry. By sharing her own experience, she hopes this will provide support and strength to others who have suffered similar childhood trauma, with the knowledge that they are understood and not walking through the storm alone.
