What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘A fascinating blend of love and murder, big dreams and betrayal, history and pure imagination – I could not put it down.’ – Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants
‘Mystery, romance – it is all here, told in a mesmerising tale.’ – Kate Alcott, New York Times bestselling author of The Dressmaker
‘A magnificent, tour-de-force story, Flight of Dreams will break your heart and satisfy every conspiracy theorist who’s wondered what really happened to the Hindenburg … Lawhon has written the book of the year. She’s a writer to watch – now, and for many years to come.’ – J.T. Ellison, author of A Very Bad Thing
‘A spectacular page-turner of class and distinction. Intricately plotted and deftly characterised, this beautifully written novel is wonderfully satisfying – historical fiction at its best.’ – Alex George, author of A Good American
‘It’s a sign of an extremely talented writer who can take a story that’s been told before and tell it in a completely new imaginative way that is so compelling and exciting.’ – Charles Belfoure, author of The Paris Architect
‘Flight of Dreams may be viewed as a “Titanic of the Skies”. Lawhon’s novel, however, needs no such comparison. It has ample emotional fuel to sail on its own, even knowing its spectacular end.’

‘An Agatha Christie–style page-turner. Suspenseful and fun.’
