Publisher's summary

Transformation, enchantment, and the emotional truths of family history teem in Kathleen Jennings’ stunning debut, Flyaway.

"Kathleen Jennings' prose dazzles, and her magic feels real enough that you might even prick your finger on it." (Kelly Link)

"Half mystery, half fairy tale, all exquisitely rendered and full of teeth.” (Holly Black)

In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothers - a note that makes her question her memories of their disappearance and her father’s departure.

A beguiling story that proves that Gothic delights and uncanny family horror can live - and even thrive - under a burning sun, Flyaway introduces listeners to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, cursed monsters, and enchanted bottles. Flyaway enchants you with the sly, beautiful darkness of Karen Russell and a world utterly its own.

Tempting tale that needed more

I was engaged by the story but found myself feeling lost at the conclusion, may it have been because of the vocabulary missing me in some areas or what. I enjoyed what I followed, but I feel like something was missing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
