The first book in The Pitsford Series. Set against the background
of an English country house, and the skies above France during the
First World War, The Flyer is both a love story and a story about
how the struggle to overcome adversity can determine a person's
true character. William Reynolds is born the son of a rural
blacksmith in England before the turn of the twentieth century.
After suffering a horrific injury, a quirk of fate results in
William receiving his education at a prestigious private school,
where his background singles him out for merciless bullying by his
contemporaries. During a time when society is strictly defined by
the social class a person is born into, William becomes an
outsider. Educated, but penniless, he struggles to succeed in
either work or love until, through his interest in the fledgling
field of aviation, he meets an aristocratic aviator, Christopher
Horsham, and Christopher's childhood friend, Elizabeth. The complex
relationship triangle that forms between these three people is at
the centre of a story that takes place in a social landscape where
each of them is forced to make choices between love and loyalty.
With the advent of war, what begins as an adventurous era in
flight, with a distinct air of chivalry and romance, soon becomes a
struggle in deadly earnest above the fields of France. William,
Elizabeth and Christopher will again face difficult choices, and
this time the repercussions will reveal who each of them has really
become.
