"Kidman couldn’t produce a poor paragraph if she tried to and this is a narrative thatI have to say ittakes wing."New Zealand Herald
This enthralling novel is based on the life of one of the world’s greatest aviators, the glamorous and daring Jean Batten.
After breaking records and becoming an international icon in the 1930s, she suddenly slipped out of view, disappearing to the Caribbean with her mother and eventually dying in obscurity in Majorca, buried in a pauper’s grave.
Fiona Kidman is a Dame and an OBE for her services to New Zealand literature.
