In this brilliantly imagined novel, Amelia Earhart tells us what happened after she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared off the coast of New Guinea one glorious, windy day in 1937. And she tells us about herself. There is her love affair with flying ("The sky is flesh") . . . . There are her memories of the past: her childhood desire to become a heroine ("Heroines did what they wanted") . . . her marriage to G.P. Putnam, who promoted her to fame, but was willing to gamble her life so that the book she was writing about her round-the-world flight would sell out before Christmas. There is the flight itself -- day after magnificent or perilous or exhilarating or terrifying day ("Noonan once said any fool could have seen I was risking my life but not living it"). And there is, miraculously, an island ("We named it Heaven, as a kind of joke"). And, most important, there is Noonan . . .

Amelia Earhart was a pioneer pilot and was known as the best aviator of her time. She was a daring, skillful, and courageous woman who broke flight records of speed and distance. One of her greatest achievements was in 1932, when she became the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She succeeded in a time when people believed that piloting was only for men, but Amelia proved that female pilots were just as capable and courageous. In all of her pursuits, Amelia worked hard to promote the rights of girls and women. Earhart always encouraged women to take charge of their own lives, and never to be discouraged by the doubts of others.

Als die Welt am Abend des 21. Mai 1927 dem jungen Piloten Charles A. Lindbergh zujubelte, feierte sie den Wagemut eines bis dahin unvorstellbaren Unternehmens: ein Mensch war allein und ohne Zwischenlandung von New York nach Paris über den Ozean geflogen. Fliegen heißt für Lindbergh »vom Wein der Götter trinken« – und schreibend vermittelt er uns dieses Gefühl, das sich aus Besessenheit und Seligkeit zusammensetzt. (Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine frühere Ausgabe.)
