βAn unforgettable tale, as beautiful as it is thorny.β βThe New York Times Book Review
In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothersβa note that makes her question memories of their disappearance and her fatherβs departure.
A beguiling story that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can liveβand even thriveβunder a burning sun, Flyaway introduces readers to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, cursed monsters, and enchanted bottles. Flyaway enchants you with the sly, beautiful darkness of Karen Russell and a world utterly its own.
