rvlgonzalez's review against another edition
Good!
No book needs to be 600 pages long, but, I generally liked it!
Someday, there will be representation of bisexuality in a book that isn't 'torn between the perfect beautiful best friend with whom they click at a deep instinctive level and the sort of dirt bag-y dude to whom they have been inexplicably drawn over a long period of time, but don't worry she gets with the dude in the end', but that day isn't here yet.

Marian Graves, nascida em 1914, sonha pilotar aviões. Uma mulher a querer pilotar aviões no século XX não poderia ser outra coisa que não um símbolo de coragem, resistência e empoderamento feminino.
A história de Marian é intercalada com a de Hadley Baxter, atriz que vai interpretar Marian num filme. Se ao início esta personagem me pareceu vazia e sem interesse, aos poucos foi sendo mais concisa e essencial para entender algumas pontas soltas da história de Marian.
São abordados temas atuais de enorme importância e esta história ganha mais riqueza graças a isso. Não tenho dúvidas que foi feito um excelente trabalho de pesquisa no geral, e em particular na parte da aviação.
Talvez esta história pareça demasiado longa, mas tudo o que ali está faz sentido e penso que não poderia ter sido de outra maneira.
Acreditem que vale a pena.
