I Was Amelia Earhart
reviewed on + 240 more book reviews


On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart flew her Lockheed Electra into a cloud bank off the coast of New Guinea and disappeared with her navigator, Fred Noonan. In this shimmering, sensuous novel, Earhart speaks to us from beyond the sky, suggesting what might have happened afterwards and proving that though the flesh is mortal, legends last forever.
