À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK • The unforgettable story of a daredevil female aviator determined to chart her own course in life, at any cost: an “epic trip—through Prohibition and World War II, from Montana to London to present-day Hollywood—and you’ll relish every minute” (People).

After being rescued as infants from a sinking ocean liner in 1914, Marian and Jamie Graves are raised by their dissolute uncle in Missoula, Montana. There--after encountering a pair of barnstorming pilots passing through town in beat-up biplanes--Marian commences her lifelong love affair with flight. At fourteen she drops out of school and finds an unexpected and dangerous patron in a wealthy bootlegger who provides a plane and subsidizes her lessons, an arrangement that will haunt her for the rest of her life, even as it allows her to fulfill her destiny: circumnavigating the globe by flying over the North and South Poles.

A century later, Hadley Baxter is cast to play Marian in a film that centers on Marian's disappearance in Antarctica. Vibrant, canny, disgusted with the claustrophobia of Hollywood, Hadley is eager to redefine herself after a romantic film franchise has imprisoned her in the grip of cult celebrity. Her immersion into the character of Marian unfolds, thrillingly, alongside Marian's own story, as the two women's fates--and their hunger for self-determination in vastly different geographies and times--collide. Epic and emotional, meticulously researched and gloriously told, Great Circle is a monumental work of art, and a tremendous leap forward for the prodigiously gifted Maggie Shipstead. 20e siècle Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Fiction littéraire Historique Région polaire Aviation Drôle

I listen to this book while doing my daily walks and it certainly was a motivator to get outside! I love the two different narrator’s and how the circle was brought together at the end! Excellent reading for the summer

What a wonderful tale of adventure, sorrow, courage, heartbreak and freedom. I enjoyed the parallel stories of two women becoming themselves. The sweep of history and geography is vast and the details precise and entrancing. A wonderful book to listen to!

A Fantastic Story

Overall I enjoyed this story. I liked how the tale was told from the two perspectives of Marian and Hadley, and I enjoyed the historic factor juxtaposed against the modern timeline.

Unfortunately I found that the reading left something to be desired. While I enjoyed listening to the Hadley voice, I found the reader for Marian lacked the range required to do a convincing job of the male characters and instead made them sound like weak female imitation voices. This distracted from the narrative and affected the overall experience.

While this had an unfortunate impact on my enjoyment of the story, I will still recommend the book to other listeners and hope that they aren’t as affected as I was by the performance.

Good story, ok narration.
