The Wild Air


en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mai 2017
In Edwardian England, aeroplanes are a new, magical invention, while female pilots are rare indeed.

When shy Della Dobbs meets her mother's aunt, her life changes forever. Great Auntie Betty has come home from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, across whose windswept dunes the Wright Brothers tested their historic flying machines. Della develops a burning ambition to fly and Betty is determined to help her.

But the Great War is coming and it threatens to destroy everything - and everyone - Della loves.

Uplifting and page-turning, THE WILD AIR is a story about love, loss and following your dreams against all odds.

Recenzii

Just loved it! What a wonderful and inspiring story.
What a stunning book . . . beautifully written, impeccably researched, and utterly addictive.
Della Dobbs is a wonderfully feisty and ambitious heroine and I cheered her all the way. Although the novel is packed with adventure and peril, at its heart there is a quiet tenderness which I found very poignant.
The writing flies off the page and into the heart.
I loved this book, riveting and compelling, original and wonderfully written
Captivating . . . With a plot rich in description, written in a straightforward style that reflects the no-nonsense attitude of its heroine, this is an inspiring read.
They always said that about her. She's got the touch. She can feel yaw in her bones, knows where the air is coming from and how it'll lift or drop. She can step into an aeroplane and strap it on and fly. It's a kind of magic trick. After all, it's simply deflecting air. It's preposterous. Only a fool would do it, some said. There's no road to steer on like an automobile, no brake to apply, no side track to save you. It's freedom and it's fear, all at once.
