Description:
On August 1, 1933, two young women, the famous aviatrix Grace O'Gorman and the inexperienced Willa Briggs, take off in a tiny moth biplane to break the world flight endurance record. Their plan: to circle above the city of Toronto for 25 days. With each passing day, the women's ties to humanity fall away and the intensity of their connection becomes as gripping as the perils that besiege them: fatigue; weather; mechanical breakdown; and the lethal efforts of a saboteur. In this extraordinary debut, Helen Humphreys exhibits rare control, restraint, and poetry.
