Join us on Thursday, August 6 at 6PM Central as we host Kathleen Jennings in conversation with Kelly Link about Jennings’ new book, Flyaway. This should be a delightful conversation about fairy tales, fantasy, and Gothic literature.
Watch our Bookstream on our home page, Facebook, or YouTube.
ABOUT FLYAWAY
A beguiling story set in western Queensland that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can live under a burning sun, Flyaway introduces readers to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth about her family throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, and cursed monsters.
“In spellbinding, lyrical prose Jennings lulls readers into this rich, dreamlike world. Lovers of contemporary fairy tales and magical realism will find this a masterful work.” —Publishers Weekly starred review
“Jennings’s debut novella is pure, poetic Australian gothic, filled with haunting emotions, fairy-tale action, and sharp prose.” —Library Journal, starred review
