Description
A gripping historical adventure that weaves together the lives of two women, one a fearless pilot from the 1950s and the other a modern-day actress who plays her on screen. Marian Graves was driven by a need for freedom and danger, and her obsession with flight consumed her. She set out to circumnavigate the globe, but her plane disappeared, lost to history. Over half a century later, film star Hadley Baxter is offered the role of Marian in a comeback film. As she delves into the script, she becomes drawn to the enigmatic pilot, leading her to an unexpected discovery that sheds new light on Marian's story. A soaring and breathtakingly ambitious novel that explores the intersection of past and present, freedom and obsession.
