An engaging and intriguing saga that explores heroic achievements and adventures in aviation in the first half of the 20th Century. Told as two parallel stories, this novel retraces from the beginning, the choices and sacrifices made by a young accomplished female aviator. It also tells the story of the actress who portrays her in a Hollywood film, becoming obsessed with discovering the manner of the heroine's disappearance while attempting to circumnavigate the globe, flying over both North and South Poles.
