Review
-- Lisa Lerner, author of "Just Like Beauty"
"Strand's debut is an absolute knockout of a novel, a multilayered story of a midwestern family flying in directions no one -- least of all any of them -- could have imagined. Stunning, surprising, and at times as thrilling as a first biplane ride, "Flight" is rich with the intimate knowledge of how families struggle to work out their lives. Dazzlingly written and aloft with humor, "Flight" truly soars."
-- Caroline Leavitt, author of "Girls in Trouble" and "Coming Back to Me"
""Flight" is an intelligent, compassionate portrait of one midwestern family at a complex emotional crossroads. Ginger Strand's depiction of the dynamics between parents and children, spouses, siblings -- the dense fabric of family, its secret ardors, strifes, and sacrifices -- is deft, insightful, and deeply satisfying."
-- Darcy Cosper, author of "Wedding Season"
""Flight" is a wonderful first novel. It takes off with assurance. It climbs with lyrical beauty. It levels off above a colorful landscape of American weddings, wars, and wisdom. It lands, honest and funny and mature, at its final destination of both love and truth."
-- Romulus Linney, author of "Heathen Valley" and "Slowly, by Thy Hand Unfurled"
"Ginger Strand's book is a marvel, weaving its myriad threads into a dramatic, vivid whole. There's a momentum to this story, an emotional pull that reveals itself with grace and sophistication. Indeed, "Flight" introduces us to a masterful talent, a writer who pulls no punches in her depiction of marriage and family, what it means to grow older, to return home. Evocative in its rendering of small-town America, here is a moving portrayal of four distinct lives and their circumstances, a novel filled with wisdom, abundant in heart, uniquely perceptive to these qualities which bind us."
-- Matthew Iribarne, author of "Astronauts & Other Stories"
"Ginger Strand's "Flight" is a profound examination of American lives edged by wars, friendships, and strong family bonds, old-fashioned and new. A translucent and beautiful novel."
-- Josip Novakovich, author of "April Fool's Day"
