Paris, 1891 Laura is living on the streets, far from the American
Prairies where she was born. When rescued by the entrancing
aerialists, Ena and Auguste Gaudron, she soon finds herself
ensconced in the family hot air balloon business, and offered the
chance to learn how to fly. Cardiff, 1896 The Gaudrons accept an
invitation to be part of the Cardiff Fine Art, Industrial and
Maritime Exhibition, presenting a daring show of balloon ascents
and parachute descents. Then late one night, a young girl, Grace,
knocks on the Gaudrons' door. She is desperate to fly, whatever the
cost. As Grace's dreams begin to take wing, can Laura be the one to
keep her grounded? Or will both girls risk it all for one dazzling
moment of flight? 'A heady and stylish read that had me swept away
from the first page. Munnik has captured a fascinating world of
daring with both beauty and heart' MAHSUDA SNAITH 'Vivid and
meticulous, Katie Munnik's The Aerialists captures the tangled
desires of people living on the thin air of their own daring - a
glorious vision of a time, a place, a welter of human manipulations
and hopes, and ultimately, their tragic effects. A really fine
read' JOAN BARFOOT 'Based on a true story, this rich novel will
capture your imagination' BEST magazine
