The language is mesmerizing, so lyrical and poetic. What a beautiful, thought-provoking read.Jennifer Ryan, bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies' Choir and The Kitchen Front
I adored the character of Antoine, a man who is ingenious when flying a plane and an idiot when it comes to love. The descriptions of the life-and-death scrapes he and his aviator colleagues get into are gripping, and there’s a vivid sense of the sheer thrill of flying. It’s spellbinding!Gill Paul, Bestselling author of The Secret Wife
