Romance Historical
This irresistible literary debut novel was inspired by the
life of Sophie Blanchard, one of the first women to fly.
In Paris, a young widow inherits her late husband’s
considerable debts, as well as his celebrated hydrogen
balloon. Drawn by the allure of flight despite its dangers,
Sophie takes to the skies with a boldness that wins her fame
throughout the country. Along with her new celebrity, Sophie
wins the love of two very different men: one, her faithful
childhood friend Andre Giroux, and the other a brash young
Napoleon Bonaparte, soon to be emperor of France.
