A soaring, breathtakingly ambitious novel that weaves together the astonishing lives of a 1950s vanished female aviator and the modern-day Hollywood actress who plays her on screen.




Marian Graves is driven by a need for freedom and danger. From her days as a wild child in prohibition America to the blitz and glitz of wartime London, she is determined to live an independent life.




But it is an obsession with flight that consumes her most.




Having become one of the most fearless pilots in her time, she sets out to do what no one has done before- to circumnavigate the globe from pole to pole.
