About this product

Product Information

In this brilliantly imagined novel, Amelia Earhart tells us what happened after she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared off the coast of New Guinea one glorious, windy day in 1937. And she tells us about herself. There is her love affair with flying ("The sky is flesh") . . . . There are her memories of the past: her childhood desire to become a heroine ("Heroines did what they wanted") . . . her marriage to G.P. Putnam, who promoted her to fame, but was willing to gamble her life so that the book she was writing about her round-the-world flight would sell out before Christmas. There is the flight itself -- day after magnificent or perilous or exhilarating or terrifying day ("Noonan once said any fool could have seen I was risking my life but not living it"). And there is, miraculously, an island ("We named it Heaven, as a kind of joke"). And, most important, there is Noonan . . .

  • THE SKY IS FLESH.......

    A very short and to the point story of Amelia Earhart and her final days. This fictionalized account is fascinating and her days on the island after the plane crashes are soothing and somewhat exotic. Her navigator, Fred Noonan and herself embark on a journey of the sky, flesh and most importantly the mind. They safely make it to a small island and there they have realizations about what life is really about. We can only hope that the true ending to this airborne heroine was as graceful and enduring. Amelia refers to the sky as flesh as she travels by plane around the world. That endless sky with clouds, sunsets and the promise of a horizon that never comes but remains a bittersweet temptation to continue on flying against all sanity. THE SKY IS FLESH...the love affair with flying.... As ...
