Maggie Shipstead
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.
_______________________
From her days as a wild child in prohibition America to the blitz and glitz of
wartime London, from the rugged shores of New Zealand to a lonely iceshelf in
Antarctica, Marian Graves is driven by a need for freedom and danger.
Determined to live an independent life, she resists the pull of her childhood
sweetheart, and burns her way through a suite of glamorous lovers. But it is an
obsession with flight that consumes her most.
Now, as she is about to fulfil her greatest ambition, to circumnavigate the
globe from pole to pole, Marian crash lands in a perilous wilderness of ice.
Over half a century later, troubled film star Hadley Baxter is drawn inexorably
to play the enigmatic pilot on screen. It is a role that will lead her to an
unexpected discovery, throwing fresh and spellbinding light on the story of the
unknowable Marian Graves.
