Equally, one imagines that Amelia had her ear well and truly to the aeronautical grapevine, she'd want the best in the business, and wouldn't put her life in the hands of someone she did not trust absolutely. If Noonan had issues, she would have known.
It serves admirable dramatic narrative effect , however, giving Amelia a chance to strut her stuff in the exotic bars and under the mosquito nets.
Stylistically simple, the book unfolds in a font near to type-script echoing the diaries Amelia kept, and the news-reports constructed from them. A balance of action, thought and dialogue keeps the pace moving…and allows it to stagnate when frustration hits our protagonists.
Enjoyable.
Further reading suggestion: If you enjoy Prasad’s style [[On Borrowed Wings by Chandra Prasad|On Borrowed Wings]] comes recommended; if its the flying that gets you, check out [[Flygirl by Sherri L Smith]]. You might also appreciate the autobiography of a man who took [[Magnificent Desolation by Buzz Aldrin|flight to a whole new place]].
