Here's what you need to know about the book: Title: NAME_1 by NAME_2. NAME_3: Historical, LGBTQIA+, Literary. Spanning Prohibition-era Montana, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, New Zealand, wartime London, and modern-day Los Angeles, NAME_1 tells the unforgettable story of a daredevil female aviator determined to chart her own course in life, at any cost. After being rescued as infants from a sinking ocean liner in 1914, NAME_4 and NAME_5 are raised by their dissolute uncle in Missoula, Montana. There--after encountering a pair of barnstorming pilots passing through town in beat up biplanes--NAME_4 commences her lifelong love affair with flight. At fifteen, she drops out of school and finds an unexpected and dangerous patron in a wealthy bootlegger who provides a plane and subsidizes her lessons, an arrangement that will haunt her for the rest of her life, even as it allows her to fulfill her destiny: circumnavigating the globe by flying over the North and South poles. A century later, NAME_6 is cast to play NAME_4 in a film that centers on NAME_4's disappearance in Antarctica. Vibrant, canny, disgusted with the claustrophobia of Hollywood, NAME_7 is eager to re-define herself after a romantic film franchise has imprisoned her in the grip of cult celebrity. Her immersion into the character of NAME_4 unfolds, thrillingly, alongside NAME_4's own story, as the two women's fates--and their hunger for self-determination in vastly different geographies and times--collide. Epic and emotional, meticulously researched and gloriously told, NAME_1 is a monumental work of art, and a tremendous leap forward for the prodigiously gifted NAME_2.
