Reviews

The language is mesmerizing, so lyrical and poetic. What a beautiful, thought-provoking read.
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!
A dreamy and exhilarating read, Antonio Iturbe pays homage to the trailblazing pilot and beloved author who inspired millions with his imagination and spirit of adventure
an engrossing novel that vividly captures the excitement, thrills and dangers of flying in the twenties
