Wild Atlantic Women is a different, deeper narrative that gradually soaks into your consciousness, like soft rain soaks into way onto your skin in the remote coastal locations that Lyons visits. Lyon’s understated, luminous writing does justice to these diverse women who all shared this wild coastline. * Sunday Business Post * Although Lyons concentrates on her subjects, many of whom were from remote communities, like the best travel narratives there is an inner and outer journey as she reaches a crossroads in her own life.  -- Paul Clements * The Irish Times *
