"Not to be missed. It is an immediately addicting book, as telegraphic as those of Margaret Duras, and as charged with longing."
-- Liesl Schillinger, Bazaar
"Past and present, fact and fiction, first-person and third blend into a life of the celebrated aviatrix -- both before and after her famed disappearance in 1937, at age 39 -- that unfolds with the surreal precision of a dream and that marks first novelist Mendelsohn as a writer to watch."
-- Publishers Weekly
