The new novel from the author of The Paris Peacemakers
1927. Flight fever is running rampant and daring flyers are all anyone can talk about. And now the Honourable Miss Elsie Mackay, glamorous former film star and regular name in gossip columns, has a new ambition - to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic.
Stella Campbell once felt at the heart of world events. But a decade on from the Paris Peace Conference, post-war hopes are frayed and her sense of self has been worn away by marriage and motherhood until she's not sure what remains.
In recent years, Stella's sister Corran has been wrapped up in her books and academic career, determinedly single, or so it seems. But when carefully guarded secrets start to emerge, will she be able to step beyond the constraints of her sex?
Three women strain to reach for their dreams on the cusp of an uncertain future.
