Great Circle

A novel

Maggie Shipstead

Great Circle is an epic, emotional story about a fearless female aviator who will stop at nothing to pursue her passion for flight. The book covers over a century of history and explores themes of self-discovery and determination. The story follows Marian, who starts flying at a young age and eventually circumnavigates the globe by flying over the North and South Poles. A century later, Hollywood actress Hadley Baxter is cast as Marian in a film that centers on her disappearance in Antarctica. The two women's fates collide as they both pursue their own paths to self-determination. Gloriously told and meticulously researched, Great Circle is an unforgettable masterpiece and a tremendous leap forward for Maggie Shipstead.
