![]() To be honest Hadley’s story really didn’t resonate with me. The second one is set in 2015, where we meet a young Hollywood star Hadley Baxter at a point where she managed swiftly to end her career in a hyper-popular franchise. One is of Marian’s Graves life that led to her challenge to the title’s great circle in 1950. ![]() The book really comprises two storylines. I still struggle with focusing on reading for longer periods of time hence it took me so long. I spent three full weeks immersed in Marian’s world. I got this book from my Bigger Half for Christmas and this time he put more time into the research, after the previous year’s failure with Shuggie Bain. ![]() Irrespective of its size it is a riveting story of the life of Marian Graves, a fictional pilot, and her attempt to fly around the world but choosing the route through the poles rather than the equatorial one. Understandable when you know the original manuscript was over 1000 pages. At almost 600 pages I would call this book sprawling, but Maggie Shipstead jokingly calls it ‘slender wisp of a thing’. ![]()
