The novel is mostly third person from Marian's perspective, and her life, from childhood, is spellbinding. Safe to say, the part resonates with her, as they say. The plane, Marian and her navigator Eddie were never found, echoing the crash that killed Hadley's own parents, leaving her in the care of her uncle. Hollywood starlet Hadley is cast as Marian Graves, the intrepid aviator whose plane was lost in an attempt to circumnavigate the great circle of the globe. They survive, Captain Graves goes to prison, and Marian and Jamie are taken in by their uncle. Where to begin with this epic journey of a novel? A 1920s shipwreck, twin babies saved by their father, who also happens to be the captain who really should not have abandoned ship - even to save his children. Great Circle – Maggie Shipstead (Random House, $37.00) Review by Louise Ward, Wardini Books
