Flight
American World War II pilot Peter can barely remember a time when he didn’t need to fight. His life is still a flicker away from nightmare; he only feels at home in a fighter plane. When he comes to Melbourne, the girl he wants is Faye, but he’s not in the race. He’ll never be the marrying kind. Yet Faye is the first woman he’s going to miss, more than his other friend, Tivoli dancer, Iris. Faye finds herself engaged to Melbourne’s most eligible man. But he never looks at her as if there is no one else in the world. Then Peter gives her just that look. She must decide what she wants, and learn how to fight for it. Snobs and moralists in Melbourne say that nice girls don’t go out with Yanks. Faye and Iris face new choices and dangers in a time of change.

Anne Vines’s Flight is a tender and atmospheric historical romance set in Melbourne in 1942, a city transformed by the arrival of American servicemen. Through Peter, a war-weary fighter pilot, and Faye, a woman bound by an engagement that no longer feels like her future, Vines explores the pull of desire and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart.
