This is a fantastic novel, written by Beatriz Williams. She is the author of A Certain Age and The Golden Hour, both excellent novels, that I have read and there are others that I look forward to reading.
This novel takes off with a whoosh of wind into the sky and brings you in for a perfect landing . Inspired, I would say, by the continued mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, this novel imagines what could have happened. It is a love story, an adventure and a look into the social mores of a time in US history. Womens' rights, marriage and relationships, the choices people make and how they affect others.. all these themes are pulled together in this plot by Janey Everett, a photo journalist works to uncover the hidden truth of forgotten aviation pioneer, Sam Mallory and Irene Lindquist, the owner of a small island -hopping airline. A heart felt story that makes you feel attached to the characters and cheer for their successes and worry about their failures.
