The Big Circle

Marien Graves was a daredevil her whole life. After meeting stunt pilots, she becomes forever in love with the sky. At fourteen, Marien drops out of school and meets a wealthy bootlegger who provides her with a plane and pays... for flying lessons. In 1950, she embarks on her most thrilling adventure—a flight around the globe—and disappears without a trace. Half a century later, Hadley Baxter, a scandalous Hollywood actress, receives an offer to play Marien Graves. Perhaps this role will help her uncover the mystery of the famous disappearance? And come to terms with the tragedy that changed her life. "A gripping story about women navigating between traditions and prejudices to get what they want". — Ron Charles, The Washington Post
